Synopsis

Small Acts of Resistance (How Courage, Tenacity and Ingenuity
Can Change the World), is a book by Steve Crawshaw and John
Jackson. The book contains over 80 true stories from 60 countries
exploring people's ability to resist injustice and change the
world around them. The preface is written by Vaclav Havel,
former President of the Czech Republic.

Big changes often start with acts that looked pointless at the
time: small acts of resistance, bold acts of defiance, subtle
acts of subversion, even witty acts of disobedience. The small
acts range from famous struggles such as those against Nazism
and Communism and for Civil Rights to ones that have been
ignored by the media or are still continuing.

The protagonists range from a few icons to, mainly, people who
have been unjustly forgotten or have remained anonymous. Telling
the stories of more than eighty acts of resistance, spanning the
world and the 20th and 21st centuries, this book pays homage to
the groups and individuals that treat the impossible as the
possible that just hasn't happened yet. Small Acts of Resistance
celebrates the awe-inspiring ingenuity and courage of the human
spirit and pays tribute to those who have been standing up to say "no".
