In 1922, Charles Garland, a young idealist, rejected a million-dollar inheritance, opting instead to invest in a future where radical ideas like economic equality and social justice could flourish.

The men and women of the Garland Fund cooperated and they bickered, they competed and (at least once) formed romantic connections.

Ainda em 2009, Felipe Neto se tornou um fenômeno da internet no país. Seu conteúdo, agressivo mas bem-humorado, se direcionava inicialmente às tendências da época, mas logo se voltou também à política, em especial ao governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). No entanto, com o impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff, a crescente aproximação da extrema direita ao poder e o recrudescimento de discursos de ódio contra minorias, Felipe passou a questionar suas convicções.

NANCY FRASER (1947) es una de las representantes más destacadas de la llamada "teoría crítica". Su vida y su obra están atravesadas por un "hilo rojo" compuesto de múltiples cuestiones que la han apasionado desde sus primeros años de activismo político, en la década de los sesenta. Pero, de entre todas ellas, destacan dos, especialmente: las injusticias sociales que asolan la sociedad contemporánea y las contradicciones que produce el sistema capitalista.

Aziz Shehadeh was many things: lawyer, activist, and political detainee. He was also the father of bestselling author and activist Raja. In this searingly personal memoir, Raja Shehadeh unpicks the snags and complexities of their relationship. A vocal and fearless opponent, Aziz resists under the British mandatory period, then under Jordan, and, finally, under Israel. As a young man, Raja fails to recognize his father’s courage, and in turn, his father does not appreciate Raja’s own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. When Aziz is murdered in 1985, it changes Raja irrevocably.

"Mi avete scritto sui manifesti che sono buono da mangiare? Purtroppo per voi che vi muovete nell'ombra, sono un prete indigesto. Un essere umano disposto a sacrificare se stesso con la massima umiltà, ma anche con la straordinaria forza della parola di Dio." È questa la risposta di don Antonio Coluccia dopo essere stato minacciato e appena prima di trovare la sua auto crivellata da una raffica di proiettili a Specchia, il comune vicino a Lecce dov'è nato.

Alessandro Zan è diventato uno dei politici più noti di questa legislatura. È, infatti, il relatore del disegno di legge che porta il suo nome, una proposta che sta agitando come poche volte nella storia repubblicana recente, un dibattito e una partecipazione forte sia dentro che fuori il Parlamento.

In 2012, two weeks before her thirty-second birthday, Jo Cheetham attended her first ever protest and it changed her life for ever. She didn’t consider herself especially political or assertive. She often apologized to people who barged into her on the street and was too polite to tell the man at the pub that he’d been calling her the wrong name for two years. Her days were ‘filled with routine, boredom and the occasional panic attack’. But soon after that first protest she joined the No More Page 3 campaign team.

Not many women can claim to have changed history, but Nafis Sadik set that goal in her youth, and change the world she did. Champion of Choice tells the remarkable story of how Sadik, born into a prominent Indian family in 1929, came to be the world’s foremost advocate for women’s health and reproductive rights, the first female director of a United Nations agency, and “one of the most powerful women in the world” (London Times).
