We are living in dangerous times. The election of Donald Trump in the United States represents just the latest far right electoral victory across the world. Far right-led governments are in place in Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and Austria. Parties from the far right also triumphed in recent elections in Sweden and France. The far right is in power in Argentina and could well make a return in Brazil in the coming years. Nativist, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim narratives are increasingly the norm, while action against climate change is being reduced or even reversed.

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. Over the next two decades, the Garland Fund, though dwarfed by the charitable foundations of industrial titans like Carnegie and Rockefeller, would become a crucible for progressive thought. The men and women of the Garland Fund cooperated and they bickered, they competed and (at least once) formed romantic connections.

समाजबदलाची आशा मनात बाळगलेला एक तरुण सोळाव्या वर्षी देशकार्याचं स्वप्न बघतो, त्यानंतर उभा आडवा भारत पिंजून काढतो, मदतकार्य, युवकांची शिबिरं, सामाजिक उपक्रम अशा नाना उचापती काय करतो..या उचापती करताना, थोडक्यात लष्कराच्या भाकऱ्या भाजताना या तरुणाला दशकभराच्या फिरस्तीच्या काळात गवसलेला भारत म्हणजे अस्वस्थ दशकाची डायरी!

El 4 de junio de 1972, el tribunal de San José, California, tras trece horas de deliberación, trece semanas de proceso y un jurado compuesto íntegramente por blancos, declara inocente a ANGELA YVONNE DAVIS (1944), acusada dos años antes de participación en homicidio, secuestro y conspiración. Terminaba así el proceso judicial de la activista y filósofa afroamericana, discípula de Herbert Marcuse y una de las figuras más destacadas e influyentes del llamado Black Power.

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.

JUDITH BUTLER (1956) es una figura incómoda, a veces incomprendida y otras mal interpretada y aun instrumentalizada como diana de la polémica en el ámbito de campañas ideológicas, empezando por cuanto atañe a las cuestiones de género y la teoría crítica.

Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us.

"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. Questo audiolibro è molte cose insieme: un racconto autobiografico intimo e privato in cui l'autore condivide con il lettore il suo percorso faticoso ma consapevole di militante Lgbt, dagli inizi nella piccola provincia padovana fino ai banchi della Camera dei deputati.

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.

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.

Huey Newton was born on February 17, 1942. He was an African-American revolutionary, notable as the founder of the Black Panther Party. Newton crafted the Party's ten-point manifesto with Bobby Seale in 1966. Here is a chance to get to know and understand not only Huey the forward-thinking and intractable black rights advocate but also the sensitive and sensible intellectual ultimately compassionate and caring man.

Cuando Mohandas era un niño pequeño, su madre le inculcó valores hindúes de la no violencia. Cuando cumplió 19 años, estudió Derecho en Inglaterra. Luego, en Sudáfrica, pudo comprobar la gran injusticia que sufría el pueblo indio por parte de los colonos blancos y se hizo activista.

Secretos de confesión son las narraciones de la vida de Mikel Lejarza desde un punto de vista diferente, dando voz a personas que habían permanecido en la sombra, personas con las que ha compartido partes trascendentales de su vida. Jefes, colaboradores o familia que nunca habían hablado sobre su relación con él, personas que han hablado desde una perspectiva íntima y personal de unos hechos y sentimientos distintos a los expresados por Mikel.

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).

In Xinjiang, the large northwest region of China, the government has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in reeducation camps. One of the incarcerated-whose sentence, unlike most others, has no end date-is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections.
