Joshua Wong Knihy

Joshua Wong je známý hongkongský studentský aktivista a politik, který se stal globálně uznávaným lídrem pro svou oddanost demokracii a sebeurčení. Jeho aktivismus, který začal v raném věku, se zaměřuje na protesty proti autoritářským tendencím a obhajobu svobody v Hongkongu. Jeho neústupný přístup a ochota nést osobní následky za své přesvědčení rezonují s těmi, kteří usilují o politickou svobodu po celém světě. Prostřednictvím své práce inspiruje novou generaci aktivistů k zapojení do občanského života a k obraně demokratických hodnot.

The urgent, first book from global phenomenon Joshua Wong - leader of the Hong Kong protests, Nobel prize nominee and TIME, Forbes and Fortune world leader - who will tell us how he took on the biggest country in the world, and why we all have a stake in the global fight for democracy. Introduction by Ai WeiweiAn urgent manifesto for global democracy from the leading 23-year-old Hong Kong activist - Nobel Peace Prize nominee and TIME, Forbes and Fortune world leader. At what point do you stand up to power?Age 14, Joshua Wong made history. While the adults stayed silent, Joshua staged the first ever student protest in Hong Kong to oppose National Education - and won. Since then Joshua founded Demosisto, led the Umbrella Revolution and spearheaded the Extradition Bill protests, which have seen an estimated 2 million people - more than a quarter of the population - take to Hong Kong's streets. His actions have sparked worldwide attention, a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and over 100 days in jail. In Unfree Speech, Joshua tells his story for the first time. Composed in three parts, Joshua chronicles his path to politics, collects the letters he wrote as a political prisoner under the Chinese state, and closes with a powerful and urgent call for all of us around the world to defend our democratic rights. Hong Kong is the canary in the coal mine. When we stay silent, no-one is safe: when we free our speech, they can't stop all of us
