    30 Pieces Of Courage And Resistance

    A fierce, witty collection of thirty short pieces—poems, essays and manifestos—that blend personal memoir with political polemic to turn anger into clarity and action; raw and urgent yet often funny, it names systemic wrongs such as austerity, nationalism, racism and misogyny while offering hopeful, practical calls for resistance, solidarity, self-care and everyday courage, celebrating resilience and the small acts that push back against despair and inequality.
