Description
For over 40 years, Goenawan has been a consistent and courageous champion of liberal humanist values in the face of authoritarianism and extremism of all kinds. His weekly column in TEMPO, the magazine he founded in 1971, has been animportant public space for both his discussion of ideas and linguistic experimentation. But these essays are neither polemic nor do they provide easy answers. They are deep musings on complex issues involving identity, politics, religion and being human.
