Description
Delia Smith taught a nation how to cook. She worked to reinstate the basics of cooking and to remove ordinary people's fear of it. The response was huge change. Now, Delia is calling for an even greater change: putting people back into the heart of politics.
In this short, powerful book Delia shares with us lessons from a long and eventful life. She introduces us to some of the greatest political thinkers past and present and reflects on what it means to be a human person. How goodness and kindness are eclipsed by oppression and confusion - and that true politics can only come from the people.
With a foreword from political activist Brian Eno and an afterword from Jamie Kelsey, a leader of the Global Citizens' Assembly movement, these nine essays will challenge the way you think about our future.
