The Armchair Activist
The Armchair Activist gives a voice to the silent majority who are disturbed by the political swing to the extreme right--but feel powerless to bring about change. This groundbreaking guide empowers the reader with facts to dispel hype and letters of protest to address such vital issues as censorship, deficit reduction, welfare, immigration, civil liberties, separation of church and state, education, and more.
Ambivalent Activism
What if doubt, hesitation and ambivalence weren’t barriers to activism but powerful tools for change? Challenging the idea that activism is fuelled only by anger or hope, this bold collection explores how activists across anti-racism, climate justice and mental health navigate uncertainty to sustain their work. Blending scholarship with on-the-ground perspectives, this book highlights ambivalence not as a weakness but as a dynamic force. This is essential reading for anyone engaged in activism or emotional research, redefining what it means to feel and act for justice in a complex world.
Beyond Resistance! Youth Activism and Community Change
The failure of current policy to address important quality of life issues for urban youth remains a substantial barrier to civic participation, educational equity, and healthy adulthood. This volume brings together the work of leading urban youth scholars to highlight the detrimental impact of zero tolerance policies on young people’s educational experience and well being. Inspired by the conviction that urban youth have the right to more equitable educational and social resources and political representation, Beyond Resistance! offers new insights into how to increase the effectiveness of youth development and education programs, and how to create responsive youth policies at the local, state, and federal level.
