365 Days of Resistance: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

365 Days of Resistance: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is an anthology of fire and rebellion which brings together 365 of Danny Shaw’s tributes to the revolutionaries who came before us. Each entry corresponds with the date in which a heroine, leader, warrioress, martyr or ancestor fell on the battlefields of history. Written as a critique of what Shaw calls “the mis-educational system,” 365 Days stands as a poignant antidote to “The Great Forgetting” that afflicts our generation. Written over the course of the last twenty-two years, 365 Days guides the reader through centuries and continents of history. Here within stand the examples of Maurice Bishop, Claudia Jones, Rosa Luxemburg, John Brown, Commander Josiah Magama Tongogara, The Trung Sisters, Assata, Che, Lenin, Malcolm and hundreds of others. Among the leaders highlighted are popular outlaws, political prisoners, banned women, depatriated and citizenless leaders, non-conformist artists, visionary poets, anti-colonial generals, underground urban guerillas, transwarriors and guillotined theorists. 365 Days of Resistance is a crucial read for teachers critical of whitewashed, standardized curricula and students of rebellions past. Here within you will discover the sublime vision of our ancestors, who stood up to exploitation in every epoch of human history.
