"Electrifying narrative", "hundreds of interviews", "impressive command of historical detail". Wall Street Journal on Revolusi.

[W. W. Norton & Company @wwnorton]

The Wall Street Journal reviewed REVOLUSI, @Davidvanrey's "electrifying narrative" of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world.

Beautiful endorsement by one of Indonesia's leading intellectuals: "Finally the book "Revolusi" by David van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey was published in English. For this book he conducted research for 4 years, interviewed around 200 witnesses and used hundreds of primary sources."

[Bonnie Triyana @bonnietriyana]

For anyone interested in colonization and decolonization, @Davidvanrey's REVOLUSI is essential.

Si l’histoire est bien «la résurrection de la vie intégrale» selon Jules #Michelet, c’est ce très grand miracle qu’a réussi (à nouveau) @Davidvanrey, remémorant l’épaisseur humaine, la complexité géopolitique & les conséquences mondiales de la révolution indonésienne🇮🇩 Merveille!

Yesterday I had my first interview on NPR, America's number one public radio, on the publication of Revolusi. It was such a joy to talk about Indonesian history. After all, Barack Obama grew up in Jakarta and the work 'ketchup' comes from the Malay 'kecap'!

[Matt Weiland @MattWeiland]

Thanks to @arishapiro for that fascinating NPR discussion with @Davidvanrey about REVOLUSI, his "astounding" (Yuval Noah Harari) new book about how Indonesia's fight for independence led to the global decolonization movement. Out from @wwnorton this week.

@fmeeus1 @deafspraaktv @bartschols Sterfte door luchtvervuiling: cijfers afkomstig van European Environmental Agency voor België. Fijn stof, stikstofdioxide en ozon: samen 5524 doden in 2022 .

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

@fmeeus1 @deafspraaktv @bartschols Voor mijn toelichting in de Afspraak baseerde ik mij op volgende bronnen. Oversterfte tijdens hittegolf: cijfers van Sciensano. 2022 hoogste cijfer van voorbije 20 jaar.

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

@deafspraaktv Evenveel burgerslachtoffers.

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

@VidalKoen Heel veel dank voor je mooie stuk, Koen. Ik heb even geen woorden.

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

We Need To Talk, het burgerpanel over partijfinanciering, zit halverwege. Zullen burgers op 6 dagen tijd slagen waar de partijen al 15 jaar hun tanden op stuk bijten?

[We Need To Talk @WeNeedToTalk_BE]

De burgers komen dit weekend voor de tweede keer bijeen 💬 Op de agenda: een belangrijke bijeenkomst met de partijvoorzitters die hun standpunt over de partijfinanciering komen verdedigen.

[Jonathan Moskovic @jonmoskovic]

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

'Revolusi' is about to be published in Italian and La Repubblica generously gave me three pages of its magazine to talk about the colonialism of the past and the future. Thank you so much. ''All roads lead to Jakarta".

Antioccidentalismo, dialogo globale, mondo multipolare, colonizzazione del futuro. Oggi su @ilvenerdi una mia conversazione con l'intellettuale belga David Van Reybrouck sulle radici di un mondo che oggi vediamo fiorire sempre più in fretta. #revolusi @feltrinellied @Davidvanrey

[David Van Reybrouck @Davidvanrey]

While a French Citizens' Assembly just proposed new legislation on euthanasia, an Irish Citizens' Assembly asks for a constitutional referendum on biodiversity. These are big steps forward!

Hoofdredactioneel commentaar van Le Monde: "De ernst van de werkzaamheden van de burgerconventie over het levenseinde lijkt aan te tonen dat het mogelijk is de wedloop naar pittige polemieken en polariserende argumenten te vermijden."
