A course for activists of the twenty-first century requires a new
literature capturing narratives of a new activism currently
igniting our nation. This is the text for that course.
*Eric Rofes*
Shepard and Hayduk's book shows where the first 'movement' of the
twenty-first century is coming from.
*Marshall Berman*
How often do progressives get such a powerful snapshot of history
in the making, told from our point of view? Benjamin Shepard and
Ronald Hayduk have done a masterful job of compiling essays that
paint a comprehensive and diverse picture of modern activism. A
wide range of issues and the people who confront them, their
agendas and strategies, are included here, and make a compelling
read. This is a brave and important book that is sure to raise
consciousness, cement coalitions, and incite righteous anger. It
also gave me some hope that change is possible, if only enough of
us will insist on equality, peace, and justice.
