Marisa Handler | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

In Loyal to the Sky, Handler offers an intriguing mixture of both personal narrative and political document, tracing the emotional evolution that resulted from her activism. In a story that criss-crosses the globe—Israel, India, Latin America and the U. S.—she outlines her own progression as a global justice activist and sketches memorable portraits of the people she encounters and the events that changed and shaped her. Handler offers an on-the-ground, first-person look into what drives the movement and the people in it, its strengths and contradictions, and why it has become such a powerful force for change. Last but certainly not least, she shares her experiences with the struggles of resilient communities across the globe that are striving to secure dignity, meaning, relationship, and community.
