Reviews
"It's a manifesto of hope, which encourages the reader to dream of a world in which humans live together as a global family; unhindered by national borders which dictate who can be rich and who must endure a life of poverty. It's thorough; covering everything from genetics to Old Testament scripture, nomadism to fish and chips. And, most importantly, it's a pretty entertaining tome; taking a convoluted subject, and breaking it down into bite-sized chunks; telling things in a storybook fashion that will appeal to fans of literature as well as history and politics.*** NEW EDGE TIMES *** Joss Sheldon's Freedom: The Case For Open Borders demystifies the benefits of migration and advocates for a borderless world... From studies by the Harvard Medical School and other well-quoted sources, to a logical examination of the benefits of learning from other cultures... the book had me completely intrigued... Forget what the media tells you about immigrants. Freedom: The Case For Open Borders is filled with well-researched facts and logical arguments that will instantly turn antagonists into advocates for open borders. *** READERS' FAVOURITE *** ""Freedom: The Case for Open Borders is an examination of freedom, mobility, and emigrant value. It's a thought-provoking, inviting consideration of why the concept of open borders is more sustainable and positive than that of constructing walls to keep people out... The result may be a hard-hitting and perhaps overly idealistic, at times, but it's a powerful discussion that deserves a place not only in classrooms considering history and social issues, but in reading groups where debates may swirl around America's makeup, immigrant influence, and future."" *** MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW ***"
Author Information
"Joss Sheldon is a scruffy nomad, unchained free-thinker, and post-modernist radical. He was raised in one of the anonymous suburbs that wrap themselves around London's beating heart. Then he escaped! With a degree from the London School of Economics to his name, Sheldon had spells selling falafel at music festivals, being a ski-bum, and failing to turn the English Midlands into a haven of rugby league. Then, in 2013, he stumbled upon McLeod Ganj; an Indian village which is home to thousands of angry monkeys. It was there that Sheldon wrote his debut novel, 'Involution & Evolution'. Eleven years down the line, he's penned eight titles in total, including two works of non-fiction: ""DEMOCRACY: A User's Guide"", and his latest release, ""FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders""."
