Dear World : A Global Odyssey

Summary: Dear World, A Global Odyssey is a rollicking, extraordinary global panorama of one man's continuing personal crusade to "live" One World and One Humanity. Besides being a devastating critique of nationalism, it is a practical guide for anyone interested in world peace through law, the freedom to travel, and human rights. The main locale is Japan where World Citizen Davis landed while on a world tour as a 1998 candida...te for US president; informed the Emperor of his arrival; issued World Passports to Sakharov, the mayors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo; and to thousands of Southeast Asians working "illegally" in Japan. Finallydeported by the Japanese Government back to the United States, he was admitted on his own World Passport! Beginning with the founding of the UN and ending with his world tour after the Berlin Wall breakdown, Davis covers individual sovereignty, how to claim to be a world citizen, mundialization (communities declaring themselves global units), the World Syntegrity Project, the exciting new grassroots process designed to evolve a democratic world constitution, and the continuing, historical evolution of the World Government of World Citizens he founded in 1953 following the sensational events of 1948-50, recounted in his first two books, My Country Is the World and Passport to Freedom. [read more]
