Manifesto for Another World Voices from Beyond the Dark

In this interlocking prose web of first-person testimony, novelist, poet, and playwright Ariel Dorfman relates the struggles of fifty hard-core human rights activists hailing from more than forty countries. Manifesto for Another World features the words and struggles of internationally celebrated activists including Vaclav Havel, Baltasar Garzon, Helen Prejean, and Marian Wright Edelman; and Nobel Prize Laureates the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel, Oscar Arias Sanchez, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Jose Ramos-Horta, and Bobby Muller. Equally moving are the stories of more than thirty others, unknown and (as yet) unsung beyond their national boundaries. From their diverse voices Dorfman culls the message: freedom from persecution, and freedom of opportunity, for all. Ariel Dorfman has been hailed by The Washington Post as a "world novelist of the first order."Dorfman, Ariel is the author of 'Manifesto for Another World Voices from Beyond the Dark' with ISBN 9781583225639 and ISBN 1583225633.
