In Touching the Sun, Dr. Ali R. Rahimi delivers a compelling exploration of democracy's long, embattled journey from the city-states of ancient Mesopotamia and Athens to the fraught political arenas of modern America. With clarity and conviction, this book maps the forces that erode freedom-autocracy, populism, misinformation, economic inequality-and offers a passionate, actionable defense of democratic values.
Drawing on historical analysis, contemporary case studies, and the author's personal insight as a human rights advocate, this work illuminates the hidden architecture of power that threatens civic life. Yet it is also a beacon of hope, revealing how cities, civil society, and everyday citizens can be powerful agents of democratic renewal.
Touching the Sun is a rallying cry for those who believe democracy is worth defending-and who understand that the greatest revolutions begin not in capitals, but in communities.
