Including novels, memoirs, historical accounts, and more, this collection offers a glimpse into the challenges and dangers journalists face – and the critical role they play in holding leaders to account and defending people’s rights and freedoms around the world. Click here to see the full list. Sponsored by De Gruyter Brill Nativist Nation: Populism, Grievance, Identity, and the Transformation of American Politics By Clifford Young and Kirby Goidel In the 2015-16 primary elections, Donald Trump tapped into a wellspring of nativist sentiment and, through bold rhetoric, found a receptive audience. Building on their analysis of this event, the authors offer a rigorous and operational definition of nativism. IPI 75 Bookshelf How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for our Future By Maria Ressa Gabriela Manuli, IPI’s director of special projects, says: “Maria Ressa’s latest book can be read as a compelling memoir of a powerful trailblazer, of the woman who co-founded and became CEO of the Philippine digital and investigative media organization Rappler, and who went on to win the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. The book is also a story of sisterhood, highlighting the important role of Ressa’s Rappler co-founders and the international lawyers who helped her in the myriad legal battles she has faced against the government. But this book can also be viewed through an anthropological lens. How do networks of disinformation work around the world and how is this related to the rise in authoritarianism? The book serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers and power of social media platforms: While Rappler initially embraced these as a tool for change, these same tools ended up being instrumental in spreading the very disinformation that can undermine democracy.” Foreign Correspondent: A Memoir By H.D.S. Greenway Christiane Klint, IPI’s finance and administration manager, says: “H.D.S. (David) Greenway is a former IPI executive board member and deputy chairman, and the driving force behind IPI’s 50th anniversary World Congress, held in Boston, Massachusetts in May 2000. His distinguished career in journalism has spanned more than six decades and included posts as foreign affairs correspondent for Time Life and The Washington Post, foreign editor and editorial page editor of The Boston Globe, and contributing columnist for The Globe and other publications. But it is his years as a war correspondent that Greenway vividly recalls in this memoir. Covering conflicts in Southeast Asia, South America, the Middle East, and the Balkans, his recollections of pivotal events in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Burma, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Bosnia, among other countries, as well as his thoughtful observations on half a century of US foreign policy, make for fascinating reading.” The Panama Papers: Breaking the Story of How the Rich and Powerful Hide Their Money By Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier Grace Linczer, IPI’s membership and engagement manager, says: “The Panama Papers traces how a leak from a small Panamanian law firm turned into one of the most important financial investigations of our time, and how that was only possible because journalists worked together across borders. IPI members Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier offer a grounded account of the complex task of coordinating a global network of reporters in secret, under pressure, and with a shared goal of exposing systemic abuse of power. What stands out, beyond the revelations of the investigation, is the process: the trust it required, the infrastructure built behind the scenes, and the strength of the community that carried this important work through. This account is a compelling reminder that collaboration isn't a nice-to-have; it's essential to the future of press freedom.”
