Acerca de este título

Ordinary is not as ordinary as you think. History is written by the loudest and most charismatic victors, but are silent about the true movers and shakers: the rebels, the honest servants, the quiet doers, the square pegs in a round hole, and the ordinary believers who kept showing up.Through seven moving tales of courage, prolific Malaysian writer, James Chai, shows us in his debut book how:– A frail 70-year-old woman became the face of Malaysia’s largest protest that helped overturn the longest-ruling regime in the world;– A mother-of-two fought through gender and racial unfairness and became the first Asian woman to win the ‘Nobel Prize for Cancer Research’;– A middle-aged, middle-level government servant exposed the largest white-collar crime in the world;– A punk graphic artist persevered through multiple arrests and drew one of the most recognisable activist artworks in the region;– An indigenous retiree battled powerful governments and corporations to usher in one of the largest environmental victories in Southeast Asia;– A group of leaderless Sikh organisation saved the lives of thousands in the worst flood in modern Malaysian history; and– A suburban bottom-of-class student found his way through modern history’s bloodiest wars and won the Pulitzer Prize.Sang Kancil will force us to reassess what is truly important and remind us of what we are capable of. Filled with research-backed theories, this book is a call-to-action for the underdogs battling our own giants. Activistas Política y activismo Política y gobierno Políticos
