Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy

By Ali Velshi

"More than a century ago, MSNBC host Ali Velshi's great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm, Gandhi's ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of his family history forever. From childhood, Velshi's grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice, and a belief in absolute equality among all people--ideals that his children carried forward as they escaped apartheid, emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States. In [this book], Velshi taps into 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living, breathing experience--a way of life more than an ideology. . . . He relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change, even when success seemed impossible. This. . . exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action; for progress to be possible, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference"--.

What Are Children For?: On Ambivalence and Choice

By Anastasia Berg, Rachel Wiseman

"A modern argument, grounded in philosophy and cultural criticism, about childbearing ambivalence and how to overcome it Becoming a parent, once the expected outcome of adulthood, is increasingly viewed as a potential threat to the most basic goals and aspirations of modern life. We seek self-fulfillment; we want to liberate women to find meaning and self-worth outside the home; and we wish to protect the planet from the ravages of climate change. Weighing the pros and cons of having children, Millennials and Zoomers are finding it increasingly difficult to judge in its favor. With lucid argument and passionate prose, Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman offer the guidance necessary to move beyond uncertainty. The decision whether or not to have children, they argue, is not just a women's issue but a basic human one. And at a time when climate change worries threaten the very legitimacy of human reproduction, Berg and Wiseman conclude that neither our personal nor collective failures ought to prevent us from embracing the fundamental goodness of human life-not only in the present but, in choosing to have children, in the future"--.
