We’re back with our second season this week, and in the full swing of tackling tricky subjects. Political dissent has a long and vibrant history accross the globe, and there are tons of great books about protesting, picketing, and raising your voice against injustices — and they’ll not only inspire you, they’ll help you put your own experience of protest into a larger historical context. And disobedience doesn’t even need to be on such a large scale, sometimes it’s the small acts of protest which make all the difference.
