Irene Facheris si è posta queste e altre domande che vengono per lo più date per scontate e ha sviscerato il tema anche attraverso un questionario a cui hanno risposto 1150 persone. Ne è nato questo libro in cui si indaga il senso profondo dell'attivismo per risolvere le faide interne e rischiarare ombre e ambiguità che fanno spesso perdere di vista il vero obiettivo, ovvero il bene collettivo.

डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर हे नाव आज सर्वांत आदरणीय भारतीयांच्या नामावलीत घेतलं जातं आणि देशभरातील त्यांच्या पुतळ्यांची संख्या महात्मा गांधींच्या पुतळ्यांखालोखाल असेल. किंबहुना, आधुनिक काळातील 'सर्वांत थोर भारतीय' ठरवण्यासाठी अलीकडे एक मतचाचणी घेण्यात आली, त्यात दोन कोटींहून अधिक मतं नोंदवली गेली आणि त्यात आंबेडकरांना गांधींपेक्षा जास्त मतं मिळाली होती.

Navalny ha iniziato a scrivere PATRIOT nel 2020, poco dopo l'avvelenamento che gli è quasi costato la vita.

In September of 2022, twenty-five years after Leonard Peltier received a life sentence for the murder of two FBI agents, the Democratic National Committee unanimously passed a resolution urging President Joe Biden to release him. Peltier has affirmed his innocence ever since his sentencing in 1977—his case was made fully and famously in Peter Matthiessen’s best-selling In the Spirit of Crazy Horse—and many remain convinced he was wrongly convicted. A wise and unsettling book, Prison Writings is both memoir and manifesto, chronicling Peltier’s life in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas.
