Our society is breaking down. Fascists are winning elections, economic inequality is rampant, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point. It feels like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is overwhelming. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves?
In Radical Justice, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow shows how we can build a fundamentally different future with our own hands. We all have our spheres of influence, and each of us can be the revolution.
Reviews:
"In a society marked by systemic inequality and entrenched power structures, Nani Jansen Reventlow's debut book serves as a powerful reminder that to create the world we envision, we need to radically rethink our approaches and take dedicated action toward true inclusivity and equity. This transformative guide challenges and motivates readers to actively participate in their communities, advocate for change, and rethink the systems that shape social norms. Whether you're an activist, organizer, or simply someone aspiring for a fairer world, this book will ignite your passion and clarify the path toward creating the essential change we all seek" -- Dunja Mijatovic, former Commissioner for Human Rights at the Council of Europe
"Historically, English law has played a firm role in enabling some of the most heinous human rights atrocities across the world - which many are still experiencing the ramifications of. Radical Justice couldn't be more timely. Nani Jensen Reventlow is a force in human rights law, but most importantly, she cares. The more of us who have this book in our hands, the more equipped we will be to usher in a new world that is fair and just for all" -- Nova Reid, author of The Good Ally
