Singapore appears to be transitioning gradually to a more competitive and contentious democracy. For now, though, the People's Action Party still controls all the levers of power. The PAP's internal dynamics will be the primary determinant of its continued viability. This anthology of essays expands on one dimension of this inner struggle: between a conservative attachment to what worked in the past, and a boldly progressive vision for the future.

Thoreau's words are both a philosophical meditation and a practical guide. With piercing clarity and quiet rebellion, he challenges the reader to examine their relationship with authority.

«الحياة بسيطة عندما تبدأ بنا. تتسع لكل شيءٍ حتى لأحلامنا العالقة بالسماء. كلما لامس جبيني الأرض في السجود، واختزنت عيناي بالدموع وملأني خشوع وانكسار؛ ذكرت ذاك الوعد الذي قطعته على نفسي بسجدة ودعاء، رددتها بكل كبرياء وثقة، بكل أمل وبكل حياة، فالجبناء وحدهم من يفشلون في مواجهة أقدارهم، ولا يستطيعون الركض باتجاه أنفسهم والعودة من جديد».

Following the 2014 Gaza War and decades of oppression and resistance, storytelling platform We Are Not Numbers (WANN) was founded to give a voice to the youth of Gaza. Since then, young Palestinians, mostly living in the besieged Gaza Strip, have used the platform to chronicle the human impact of occupation and blockade. In doing so, they have passionately fought to be recognised not as numbers but as human beings with lives, hopes, and dreams. Ten years on, this collection brings together the most impactful essay contributions of the last decade from emerging Palestinian writers.

2º Lugar na categoria "Contos e crônicas" do 59ª Prêmio Jabuti - 2017. Em Se for pra chorar que seja de alegria, o autor reúne 41 crônicas escritas durante a sua carreira no Caderno 2, do jornal O Estado de São Paulo, e na Tribuna de Araraquara. E por que um livro de crônicas? "Porque os meus últimos anos foram marcados por crônicas. Diria que foi uma descoberta tardia, mas uma grande descoberta. É gostosa de escrever, é um pouco de poesia, um pouco de mim, um pouco da cidade, um pouco do Brasil e um pouco do mundo", responde o autor.
