Any democracy movement is, at its heart, a dignity movement. In All Rise, Bob Fuller gives us the essential tools to fight abuses of rank and to build high-performing institutions and organizations based on respect. All Rise is the operating manual for leaders who recognize the latent power of each individual to make a difference in a free and fair society. – Wes Boyd, Co-founder of MoveOn.org
Robert Fuller looks at life through a provocative and unusual lens. Even if you begin by thinking your own worldview is different, you will nonetheless find here an array of observations that leave you intrigued, surprised, and unexpectedly nodding your head in agreement. – Adam Hochschild, Founder of Mother Jones and author of Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire’s Slaves
All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity gives us a clear mandate for transforming our society into a true democracy. With insight, compassion, and a fundamental understanding of how “rankism” in all areas of our culture impacts individuals and communities, the reader is called to look at human degradation and discrimination in new ways. But unlike so many books that only articulate a problem, All Rise gives us a way to go beyond discussion to change our personal relationships, professional practices, and our involvement in our political and economic systems.
