How does someone come to live a life of activism, supporting the fight to abolish the death penalty in the US; to defend Indigenous peoples’ rights in the US, Central and South America; and to free prisoners of conscience in South Korea, Indonesia, Chile, Sudan, and South Africa?
Drawing on personal experience and that of towering human rights figures, such as South Korea’s Kim Dae Jung and Sudan’s Mahmoud Mohamed Taha, author David Hinkley takes us on a journey of solidarity and struggle in the cause of human rights. Stories of Solidarity and Struggle offers a unique insider look at the international struggle for human rights, told in prose and poetry by Hinkley, an activist for more than 50 years and still on the ramparts. On display are the methods and strategies used, thrilling victories, tragic defeats, lessons learned, and, poignantly, the benefits to the activist.
Drawing on themes of memory, inheritance, and justice, this book is ideal reading for activists, people fighting for human rights, and students of Activism and Social Movement Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Politics, History, and Carceral Studies.
