Ece Temelkuran

Join writer, broadcaster and blind adventurer Red Széll for the latest episode of AMI-audio’s My Life in Books. Each fortnight, Red invites you to join him in conversation with a renowned author about their work and the books that inspired them to write. Ece Temelkuran is an award-winning author and journalist and one of Europe’s most highly respected political thinkers. Her 2019 book, How to Lose a Country: The Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship, was hailed as an urgent call to action to combat a global rise in populism. Two years later, in a world blighted by COVID-19 and more divided than ever, she might have been excused for publishing a post-mortem. Instead, in Together: 10 Choices for a Better Now, she set out a manifesto for social and political change. "This is not about how we messed things up," she says, "This is about what kind of world we want to live in now, and the joy we can take in finding our dignity again." Join Ece and Red as they discuss the roles of faith, hope, and community in a world of deception, fear and inequality.About AMI AMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.
