Solidarity by Rowan Williams Review – What Does It Really Mean to Stand by Someone?
Rowan Williams’s new book, *Solidarity: The Work of Recognition*, reframes solidarity as a moral intensifier that places us alongside victims rather than merely expressing support. He argues that true solidarity must acknowledge the irreducible otherness of each person while recognizing our innate social interdependence. Williams critiques contemporary empathy and the view of human rights as isolated entitlements, insisting that rights must be balanced with obligations. The work is scholarly, offering few concrete examples beyond ceremonial acts like truth commissions, and its dense prose may challenge casual readers.
