- An unashamed paean to activism, bringing together 80 examples from across geography and the last 100 years.
At its simplest this is a series of uplifting accounts of the sheer power of the human spirit to overwhelm man’s inhumanity to man. But it is also a highly readable voyage through a century of struggle across the world – some of which we were hardly aware of, and too many of which, we are in danger of forgetting. A brilliant compendium.
Small Acts of Resistance pays tribute to those who have sought to live in truth, and the impact that can have.
An inspiring account of those magic moments of mischief that can transform our lives – a book that shows how to poke your tongue out at tyrants without having it cut off.
Too often, people talk of what is unachievable. As this book makes clear, we need to be reminded about what is achievable, too. Small Acts of Resistance is inspiring — and real.
Big changes often start with acts that looked pointless at the time: small acts of resistance, bold acts of defiance, subtle acts of subversion, even witty acts of disobedience. Small Acts of Resistance celebrates the inspiring ingenuity and awe-inspiring courage of the human spirit and pays tribute to those who have been standing up to say 'no'.
In a world of Goliaths, we need these stories of Davids to sustain us. With its gutsy, creative and rousing tales of ordinary people creating extraordinary change, Small Acts of Resistance proves that it is possible - armed with a little ingenuity and a lot of passion - to bring down dictators, change unfair laws, fight injustice and raise ones voice in freedom by defying those who would deny it.
Spanning the globe and the 20th and 21st centirues, this puts a pop culture spin on human rights with its accessible and inspiring approach to international activism. Moving from Albania to Zimbabwe, and throughout Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, Small Acts offers an engaging collection of over 100 stories celebrating courage, perseverance and the resilience of the groups and individuals that treat the impossible as the possible that just hasn’t happened yet.
