Why protest can achieve much more than we think – and how each individual decides. Humans can be brutally selfish, self-righteous, and reckless. Nevertheless, once a small critical mass begins to move towards a larger goal, it can become unstoppable in its impact and create revolutionary changes. Hardly any achievement of our democracies would have been conceivable without collective courage. However, most people have not even begun to engage in many of today’s pressing struggles – foremost among them the fight for our livelihoods. Politics and the ability to influence it seem too distant for too many. How can this change? We need to address crucial questions: What can and wants activism and protest? What mechanisms are behind it? How is efficient engagement organized? When do people take action? And how many must dare to inspire others? With verve and humor, Friedemann Karig explores the theory and practice of dissent. He examines historical and current protest movements, whose examples show that persistent protest and civil disobedience can achieve fundamental changes. Karig's book highlights our immense opportunity to achieve much more than seems possible today – also because it tells of perhaps the most precious good of our time: hope.
