Title: Global citizens
Description: "Against a backdrop of advancing neoliberalism and globalisation, this book examines nine prominent Australians from diverse backgrounds - 'global citizens' - who have each enhanced public life through promoting universal values and human rights." "The book charts over 50 years of campaigning, and espouses perennial causes such as peace, social justice, ecological sustainability and gender and racial equality. Ultimately, this volume sends a message of hope for Australian society and provides a benchmark for all proponents of change."--book jacket.
