Power to the People – Michael D. Higgins
Michael D. Higgins is one of the most brilliant and influential voices in Irish culture and political life over the past 40 years.
This collection, featuring a carefully chosen selection of our current President’s powerful work for Hot Press, is packed with penetrating insights and wonderfully vivid writing – on women’s liberation, Gaza, US foreign policy, war and peace in Africa, the democratic deficit, sustainability and LGBTQI+ rights.
Way ahead of its time in so many ways – and often very funny – it made radical and inspiring reading then. Even more so now, as it underlines the exhilarating reality that it really is possible to make positive changes, even in the most monolithic, conservative societies.
