From the Lines of Dissent
From the Lines of Dissent is an anthology of select articles, comment pieces and academic analysis originally commissioned for Media Diversified's online platform, covering politics, literature, sexuality, education, religion, media and much more. These writings deal not only with specific current events but with the larger political and socioeconomic issues that shape contemporary global society, ensuring their continued relevance for readers.
The book also features a foreword by leading journalist Gary Younge, who writes for the Guardian and is the Alfred Knobler Fellow for social justice and civil rights organisation The Nation Institute. His latest book, Another Day in the Death of America, looks at the effects of gun violence in the US.
The book aims to bring about positive change in journalism by introducing readers to perspectives outside the conventional commentariat.
