A good primer on the history of modern democracy worldwide, it's various flavors and external events which propelled it to happen. Lots of info on the evolution of voting rights in each country which I hadn't been aware of. The author writes in a very approachable style. Recommended.

Quite the book. I can see why it is revered in Portugal. It has passages that are beautiful, enchanting. There are sections, it must be said, which I found tedious, even boring and hard to get through. But then his words will part the clouds and all is beautiful again, even when it is sad. A silent, tortured soul wrote in anonymity, of dreams and so much more. I may have to read this again at some point. Thank you, Fernando.

A really enlightening read. The author takes the reader through many different types of bias, partly as he described coming to terms with his own bias. He also contrasted racist power, policies and ideas with antiracist power, policies and ideas. A good education, can recommend.

Excellent. Crucial. A MUST READ.

Václav Havel’s meditation on political dissent, borne of his first-person experience, would seem especially pertinent in this moment.

The psychological effect of living in a totalitarian state. Seems timely.

Short, concise and to the point. Lots of examples we can learn from regarding the importance of speaking and acting soon enough to make a difference.

It's costs like $10. Get a copy.
