AN INSPIRING INSTRUCTIONAL HANDBOOK FOR TRANSFORMING IDEALISM INTO SOCIAL CHANGE
For those of us who have been kind of making it up as we go along, this book is a real resource for change-making! --- Bill McKibben, founder 350.org
… a book that seeks to teach people (particularly those in ostensibly democratic societies) how to "disturb the peace" [in order to] to avoid the worst of the catastrophic effects that now manifest as social and ecological crises across the face the planet . -Richard Kahn, Core Faculty in Education, Antioch University Los Angeles
Educating for Action collects the voices of activists whose combined experience in confronting injustice has generated a wealth of key insights for creating social change. This practical, hands-on guide explores such topics as:
- Community organizing and direct democracy
- Conflict negotiation, communication and rhetoric
- Law, the educational system and lifestyle activism
- Social media skills, conference planning and online organizing.
Written in an inspirational tone, Educating for Action consciously straddles the line between street activism and classroom instruction. Bridging the gap between these two worlds makes for an engaging and instructive manual for social justice, helping students, teachers, and larger activist communities turn their idealism into action.
This is exactly the right book, at the right time. -Sandy Grande, Ph.D., author of Red Pedagogy: Native American Social and Political Thought
