We Need New Stories: Challenging the Toxic Myths Behind Our Age of Discontent by Nesrine Malik

5.0

“This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to predict the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine alternative destinies. Of course this is not total freedom – we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.” - kind of appropriate quote from Homo Sapiens.

If you want a step up from that book and break up some damaging myths prevalent in media and stories adopted and popularised by far right - check out Nesrine Malik. Maybe then we could be be closer to actually freeing ourselves from the past.
