In this interlocking prose web of first-person testimony, novelist,
poet, and playwright Ariel Dorfman relates the struggles of fifty
human rights activists hailing from more than forty countries.
Manifesto for Another World features the words and struggles of
internationally celebrated activists including Vaclav Havel,
Baltasar Garzon, Helen Prejean, and Marian Wright Edelman; and
Nobel Prize Laureates the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel,
Oscar Arias Sanchez, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Jose Ramos-Horta, and
Bobby Muller. Equally moving are the stories of more than thirty
others, unknown and (as yet) unsung beyond their national
boundaries: Kailash Satyarthi, who has spent a lifetime working to
free tens of thousands of victims of child labor in his native
India, and Juliana Dogbadzi, who was sold into sexual slavery by
her parents at age twelve, escaped after seventeen degrading years,
and now is devoted to the liberation of African girls bound in the
same terror. From their ranging voices Dorfman culls the message:
freedom from persecution, and freedom of opportunity, for all.
Manifesto for Another World is both a political testament and a
work of art.
