revolutionary movements

Can a peaceful protest, however courageous, overthrow a regime that relishes its brutality? Yes, quite simply, when there are those who are not afraid of death, when the power of the powerless is revealed. Wonderful, touching, and astonishing stories of people who found innovative and inspiring ways to challenge violent regimes, confront tyranny and abuse of power, and persevere, even toppling tyrants and changing unjust laws. Writers, thinkers, athletes, ordinary citizens, small and large groups, confronted with poetry, slogans, a football match, a media stance, a film, and Facebook. The book covers individual and collective heroism in the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia and the peaceful Egyptian Revolution, in which poetry and music were used, all the way back to Hitler, passing through various countries around the world: Iran, Turkey, Palestine, Sudan, Afghanistan, Britain, Uruguay, Brazil, Ireland, communist Poland, Peru, Colombia, Ivory Coast.
