Product Information
A captivating family history that illustrates how small actions can have an outsized political impact. Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom--for idealism itself--against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly. More than a century ago, MSNBC host Ali Velshi's great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm, Gandhi's ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of his family history forever. From childhood, Velshi's grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice, and a belief in absolute equality among all people--ideals that his children carried forward as they escaped apartheid, emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States. In Small Acts of Courage , Velshi taps into 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living, breathing experience--a way of life more than an ideology. With rich detail and vivid prose, he relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change, even when success seemed impossible. This heartfelt exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action--for progress to be possible, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference.

Reviews
" Small Acts of Courage is that rare paradox: a concise epic. Spanning continents, generations and cultures, this beautiful book is not simply a chronicle of Ali Velshi's Americanness, but of the long, winding path that led him to it. In a moment defined by polarities and recrimination, the story he tells here of heritage and community could not be more important." --Jelani Cobb, Dean of Columbia Journalism School, "Ali Velshi is the soulful, smart, principled, passionate future of American TV journalism. His family's story is astonishing and inspiring in equal measure--what a surprising and wonderful book!" --Rachel Maddow, host of The Rachel Maddow Show and author of Prequel "Velshi shares his noble inheritance, coming from a family of justice seekers and freedom fighters who endured British Colonialism, South African Apartheid, and discrimination, and who traversed continents to find safe harbor. He insightfully applies their ancestral lessons to our current challenges, writing in compelling, clear and incisive fashion about how to be responsible to the places we call home and the people with whom we share our planet." --Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America "A book of wisdom and humility that offers a different sort of defense of democracy, grounded in one family's lived experience on three continents, and informed by the lesson that freedom and responsibility work together." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "This beautifully written origin story of one of the most brilliant and essential journalists of our time is so many things at once. It's an immigrant story, the story of a remarkable family, and one that shows what's possible when intellectual curiosity meets courage and commitment." --Joy-Ann Reid, host of The ReidOut on MSNBC " Small Acts of Courage is that rare paradox: a concise epic. Spanning continents, generations and cultures, this beautiful book is not simply a chronicle of Ali Velshi's Americanness, but of the long, winding path that led him to it. In a moment defined by polarities and recrimination, the story he tells here of heritage and community could not be more important." --Jelani Cobb, Dean of Columbia Journalism School "Through the captivating, compelling story of his immigrant family's courageous hundred-year plus journey to freedom across five countries and three continents, Ali Velshi distills to its essence the genius that is American democracy and sounds an alarm warning us of the existential threats facing it today. Velshi urges us to subscribe to the democratic process and exercise our muscle of citizenship, lest it atrophy; the growing cynicism over our national politics is a luxury Americans cannot afford at this moment when our democracy is teetering on a knife's edge." --J. Michael Luttig, former judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit "A vital reminder that democracy thrives on the sum of our individual actions. Velshi's narrative is both a personal tribute and a universal call to action, reminding us that no matter how small our efforts, they are all essential in shaping a fairer world. This book reinforces what I already knew from personal experience: our collective pursuit of justice is long, arduous, and often without immediate reward, but it is crucial nonetheless. An inspiring read for anyone committed to the principles of democratic integrity." -- Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, U.S. Army (Retired), "With great humility and boundless appreciation, Velshi honors his family's valor and convictions and proudly accepts the mantle of social activism, bringing tales of immigrant struggles and myriad injustices to light." -- Booklist (starred) "A journalist's instructive family memoir provides a crash course in Indian diasporic history." -- Kirkus "Ali Velshi is the soulful, smart, principled, passionate future of American TV journalism. His family's story is astonishing and inspiring in equal measure--what a surprising and wonderful book!" --Rachel Maddow, host of The Rachel Maddow Show and author of Prequel "Velshi shares his noble inheritance, coming from a family of justice seekers and freedom fighters who endured British Colonialism, South African Apartheid, and discrimination, and who traversed continents to find safe harbor.
