A thought-provoking collection of short stories and poems, celebrating freedoms or quietly mourning their loss... It has the force of several one-inch punches, delivered without pause. * Guardian * "This is an amazing book. It sends out a real message that we all deserve freedom and the right to choice. I loved how each story was different. [...] It highlights the power of books to change lives." * Teen Titles, reader review * "A valuable message is forcefully conveyed. No doubt a useful source book for stressing the value of civil rights and personal freedom and the importance of safeguarding them." * SLA * This book is certainly and important and timely contribution to the field of young adult literature and as I finished reading the last piece, I immediately felt that I would return to the collection as a resource for planning informative and politically relevant lessons for Key Stage Three pupils. * The Use of English, The English Association Journal for Teachers of English * Here I Stand is a compelling collection of stories, poems and graphic narratives commissioned by Amnesty to explore different aspects of our human rights. [...] each contribution presents a human rights issue in a thought-provoking and original way. * Amnesty.org.uk * "There's a lot to love about this pained, poised collection of short stories and much of that comes from its careful and classy curation." * didyoueverstoptothink.wordpress.com * "An inspirational collection" * WRD * "[...] good for the reader who wants hard-hitting Realism." * The Guardian *
