"Electrifying narrative", "hundreds of interviews", "impressive command of historical detail". Wall Street Journal on Revolusi.
The Wall Street Journal reviewed REVOLUSI, @Davidvanrey's "electrifying narrative" of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world. wwnorton.com/books/revolusi wsj.com/arts-culture/books/r

Si l’histoire est bien «la rĂ©surrection de la vie intĂ©grale» selon Jules #Michelet, c’est ce trĂšs grand miracle qu’a rĂ©ussi (Ă  nouveau) @Davidvanrey, remĂ©morant l’épaisseur humaine, la complexitĂ© gĂ©opolitique & les consĂ©quences mondiales de la rĂ©volution indonĂ©sienneđŸ‡źđŸ‡© Merveille!

Yesterday I had my first interview on NPR, America's number one public radio, on the publication of Revolusi. It was such a joy to talk about Indonesian history. After all, Barack Obama grew up in Jakarta and the work 'ketchup' comes from the Malay 'kecap'!
Thanks to @arishapiro for that fascinating NPR discussion with @Davidvanrey about REVOLUSI, his "astounding" (Yuval Noah Harari) new book about how Indonesia's fight for independence led to the global decolonization movement. Out from @wwnorton this week.

We Need To Talk, het burgerpanel over partijfinanciering, zit halverwege. Zullen burgers op 6 dagen tijd slagen waar de partijen al 15 jaar hun tanden op stuk bijten?
De burgers komen dit weekend voor de tweede keer bijeen 💬 Op de agenda: een belangrijke bijeenkomst met de partijvoorzitters die hun standpunt over de partijfinanciering komen verdedigen.

'Revolusi' is about to be published in Italian and La Repubblica generously gave me three pages of its magazine to talk about the colonialism of the past and the future. Thank you so much. ''All roads lead to Jakarta".
Antioccidentalismo, dialogo globale, mondo multipolare, colonizzazione del futuro. Oggi su @ilvenerdi una mia conversazione con l'intellettuale belga David Van Reybrouck sulle radici di un mondo che oggi vediamo fiorire sempre piĂč in fretta. #revolusi @feltrinellied @Davidvanrey

While a French Citizens' Assembly just proposed new legislation on euthanasia, an Irish Citizens' Assembly asks for a constitutional referendum on biodiversity. These are big steps forward!

Terwijl Frankrijk brandt over de pensioenen, was er een buitengewoon sereen burgerberaad mogelijk over euthanasie. De aanbevelingen liggen nu op tafel en oogsten veel waardering.

A breakthrough for #sortition as @lemondefr salutes the "serious work" of France's latest randomly selected citizens' assembly on the end of life and calls for more subjects to be tackled with such "collective intelligence" and "enlightened debate". lemonde.fr/idees/article/202

President @EmmanuelMacron officialized the institutionalization of #citizensassemblies in France by announcing a 3rd one for the fall on a TBD topic (guesses are #immigration or #democraticrenewal) & a bill on #endoflife by the end of summer. #deliberativedemocracy
