BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Kate Grenville

Anne McElvoy talks to author Kate Grenville and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Gene Sharp.

Anne McElvoy talks to the Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Gene Sharp, the world's foremost expert on non-violent revolution and to Australian novelist Kate Grenville.

Anne McElvoy talks to the Australian writer Kate Grenville about her new novel, 'Sarah Thornhill', set in nineteenth century Australia. How important are the early stories of white settlers and displaced Aboriginal communities in defining the country today? Is class, ancestry and the violence of the past still lingering as a undercurrent?

And Nobel Peace Prize nominee Gene Sharp, the world's foremost expert in non-violent revolution talks about his career and his influence, in books like 'From Dictatorship to Democracy', on approaches to conflict across the world. 

Plus a review of 'Young Adult', the latest collaboration between the writer and director of 'Juno', Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman. 

And in an age of globalisation Night Waves asks: is global citizenship possible, or even desirable?

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
