Burn Down Master's House

Posted by Tammi Williams on Mar 6th 2026

If you’re having a hard time dealing with everything we’re collectively going through right now, Burn Down Master’s House by Clay Cane might help you cope.

This is a book about rebellion. We need to remember how to refuse. We need to remember how to fight for our lives. The people in these stories are the picture of self-determination in the face of everything that would hold them back. It’s not a pretty picture, but it’s true to our history. Our history is ugly.

And still we rise.

An important and inspiring read that is written for this moment. After you read the book, watch Clay Cane in conversation with Tim Winn. As Cane explains, he hopes Burn Down Master’s House ignites in you the fire to burn down the master’s house in your own mind. That’s where the rebellion begins.
