Whatever your perspective on their campaigns, we all have things to learn from their imagination and skill in drawing people together to bring change." - Abigail Thomas, Hopeful Activists Podcast Host"Making a Movement delivers a wrecking ball to the unsustainable populism of the right." - Simon Speakman Cordall, Al Jazeera Journalist"If you read Barney Cullum's book, you will come away with comprehensive knowledge of the severe problems impacting people every day all over the world, but you will also feel utterly inspired to take action yourself. Powerful stories reframe the brave people and organisations who are truly taking risks to bring about positive change, all achieved in an accessible, fascinating way." - Lucy Skoulding, Human Rights Campaigner and Independent Journalist"Cullum skilfully weaves together and situates social movements, campaigns and their tactics around the world. Interviews with key and ordinary people are interlaced with stories of how he obtained access. Filled with illuminating behind-the-scenes accounts of current situations, poignant viewpoints include those of pacifist Russians and Belarusians on the war in the Ukraine. Closer to home in the UK, Cullum captures the senselessness of people locked up in psychiatric hospitals for years with no end in sight." - Valerie de Schaller, Amnesty International Grassroots Activist"Through interviews with activists and campaigners across the global spectrum, these chapters offer a crucial insight into environmental, political and human rights movements. From strike action, to street art, to direct action, this book is an argument for why a whole range of tactics are so critical to achieving real change. A captivating and meaningful read." - Ella Abraham, Praxis, For Migrants and Refugees Campaigner

Yes, European social policy exists, and its origins can be traced back nearly 70 years. This book succeeds in demystifying Social Europe and explains its significance in the integration process for the broader public. Björn Hacker maps out the lines of conflict in social affairs between Member States and the EU, as well as between economic and social progress. These lines of conflict determine the modes and actors of European social policy, creating tangible development stages with different focus points. Going back to Willy Brandt and Jacques Delors the author highlights visions of Social Europe in their respective paradigmatic environment and mirrors what is left of them today. Challenges of socioeconomic imbalances, the twin transformation and multiple crises setting, make this book an indispensable companion for all those who want to understand and further progress Social Europe. The volume on Social Europe is part of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) Primers Series.

Wild Swans meets Educated in this riveting true story spanning four generations 'Revelatory and remarkable' - TRENT DALTON'Memorable and vivid' - RICHARD GLOVER'Lands with a thump in your heart' - LISA MILLAR'Heartbreaking and uplifting' - MEAGHAN WILSON ANASTASIOS'An heroic saga' - MIKE MUNROThe dragon circles and swoops ... a tiger running alone in the night ...Mimi Kwa ignored the letter for days. When she finally opened it, the news was so shocking her hair turned grey. Why would a father sue his own daughter?The collision was over the estate of Mimi's beloved Aunt Theresa, but its seed had been sown long ago. In an attempt to understand how it had come to this, Mimi unspools her rich family history in House of Kwa. One of a wealthy silk merchant's 32 children, Mimi's father, Francis, was just a little boy when the Kwa family became caught up in the brutal and devastating Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. Years later, he was sent to study in Australia by his now independent and successful older sister Theresa. There he met and married Mimi's mother, a nineteen-year-old with an undiagnosed, chronic mental illness. Soon after, 'tiger' Mimi arrived, and her struggle with the past - and the dragon - began ...Riveting, colourful and often darkly humorous, House of Kwa is an epic family drama spanning four generations, and an unforgettable story about how one woman finds the courage to stand up for her freedom and independence, squaring off against the ghosts of the past and finally putting them to rest. Throughout, her inspiration is Francis's late older sister, the jet-setting, free-spirited Aunt Theresa, whose extraordinary life is a beacon of hope in the darkness.PRAISE FOR HOUSE OF KWA'House of Kwa enchants and enthrals like the best kind of sweeping, dynastic fiction, but it rattles the bones and breaks the heart with the pure facts of Mimi Kwa's extraordinary story.

Richard Glover'From the back streets of China to war-torn Hong Kong to suburban Australia, this is an heroic saga that reveals just some of the stories behind the multi-cultural nation we are today.' Mike Munro AO'This is a charming and compelling story, an insight into a deeply traditional Chinese family in times when China was undergoing internally and externally induced upheaval.' South China Morning Post'A rich and riveting read which heralds a new chapter in Kwa's life as a writer. The spirited tiger, full of life and driven to achieve, has many stories to tell yet.'

It took enormous strength to write this story of trauma, abuse, mental health, dislocation, racism and reinvention. Above all it is a story of love and kindness. It will resonate with so many people.' Kirsty Manning

Ich will in den Himmel, schrieb ein Journalist vor wenigen Jahren. Er meinte nicht den Weltraumflug. Ich war verblüfft. Himmel? Wer glaubt denn noch an Wohnungen mit Ewigkeitswert? Und dann sucht er sie auch noch im luftigen Himmel? Himmel ist kaum mehr als eine diffuse Erinnerung aus längst vergangenen Zeiten. Andererseits: Ist der Himmel wirklich ein Muster ohne Wert?Kein Mensch lebt ohne Verfallsdatum. Wird mein Leben ohne den Mehrwert des Himmels, auf den unsere Vorfahren zu lebten, angesichts des unausweichlichen Todes nicht zum Muster mit allzu begrenztem Wert? Könnte es sich nicht lohnen, auf den Himmel zu wetten, wie einst der geniale Mathematiker und Christ Blaise Pascal mit seiner berühmten Wahrscheinlichkeits-Wette? Wohin ist der Himmel verdrängt oder entwichen? Ich habe mich im Endspiel meines eigenen Lebens auf die Spurensuche gemacht. Und dieses Büchlein ist ein Zwischenbericht. Wer könnte ausschließen, dass sich uns der Himmel  öffnet, sobald der Arzt unseren Totenschein ausgestellt hat. Wäre es so, und das bleibt bis dahin offen, dann würden wir hineingerissen in ein faszinierend überwältigendes Wunder, ganz gleich ob wir es gegenwärtig glauben oder nicht. Dies habe ich inzwischen, alt geworden, in meine Lebensbilanz eingerechnet. Obwohl wir Einblicke in den Himmel bestenfalls gespiegelt, wie in einem Spiegel heißt es in der Bibel (1. Kor 13,12), gewinnen, und Spiegel waren damals recht unpräzis, so  lassen sich über den Himmel doch in theologischen Meditationen und Assoziationen Einsichten gewinnen. Und die scheinen mir nicht aus der Luft gegriffen. In 2000 Jahren ist eine erfahrungsbasierte Gewissheit entstanden, die zahllose Menschen getragen hat und immer noch trägt. In Ihrem Gefolge versuche ich mich kreisend dem Geheimnis des Himmels zu nähern und Blicke hinein zu werfen. Es ist ein versuchter Schritt hinein in eine Einführung und Einübung in die Mysterien des christlichen Lebens.
