Description
Dear World is a sweeping critique of nationalism and a practical guide for anyone interested in world peace, the freedom to travel, and human rights. The main locale is Japan where Davis was jailed; contacted the Emper∠̈ issued honorary World Passports to Sakharov, the mayors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo; and human rights documents to Southeast Asians working illegally in Japan. Meetings with Presidernts Vaclav Havel and Vytautus Landsbergis (Lithuania), Moscow mayor Gavriil Popov and correspondence with Queen Elizabeth (while in Brixton Prison), Margaret Thatcher, Emperor Akihito amd others are fascinating footnotes to history.Spanning 40 years, beginning with the founding of the UN and ending with his world tour after the Berlin Wall breakdown, Davis covers individual sovereignty, becoming a world citizen, mundialization (communities declaring themselves global units), the World Syntegrity Project (the exciting new cybernetic process designed to evolve a democratic world constitution), and the historical evolution of the World Government of World Citizens.
