Passport to Freedom: A Guide for World Citizens - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In 1948, former Broadway actor and WWII B-17 bomber pilot Garry Davis renounced his U.S. nationality as a personal action for world peace and declared himself a World Citizen. Since then the movement he set in motion has spread around the world. World Citizenship has become central to varied visions of global peace and justice.
Passport to Freedom draws on Davis' four decades of experience, offering timely and practical insights and advice for anyone who agrees that the nation-state system itself is one of the greatest threats to humanity today. Davis argues persuasively that individual sovereignty is the key to challenging the arbitrary power of nations, and proposes a revolutionary strategy for the growth of a World Government of World Citizens.
Passport to Freedom shows how World Citizenship can be a powerful moral and political tool that reveals the living reality of One World. But it is more: It is a sourcebook of theory and practice that can empower humanity. Through numerous examples, Davis proves that World Citizenship is not merely a noble theory. It works. Thousands of people have used the tools described in this book to enter and leave more and more countries and successfully challenge national authorities around the world. For many refugees World Citizenship means the difference between freedom and death.
As an inspiring story and practical guide, this ground-breaking book will provide readers with their own "passport to freedom."
