Part memoir, part philosophy, The Way of the Kind Rebel moves from the 1991 Kurdish exodus to a new life in Australia. Along the way it draws on the people who taught Donna Sherwani how to stand up without losing herself: Arendt, Camus, Harriet Tubman, Wangari Maathai, and the strangers whose small kindnesses changed everything.
It asks what an ordinary person can do in a world that says they are too small to matter.
We are small. It does not stop us.
For changemakers, educators, parents and young people. For anyone who wants to change something without becoming someone they don't recognise.
