SynopsisThe Strategist 's Best Books About Asian American Identity, New York Magazine The pioneering Asian American labor organizer and writer's vision for intersectional and anti-racist activism. In this powerful, deeply humanistic book, Grace Lee Boggs, a legendary figure in the struggle for justice in America, shrewdly assesses the current crisis--political, economical, and environmental--and shows how to create the radical social change we need to confront new realities. A vibrant, inspirational force, Boggs has participated in all of the twentieth century's major social movements--for civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights, and more. She draws from seven decades of activist experience, and a rigorous commitment to critical thinking, to redefine "revolution" for our times. From her home in Detroit, she reveals how hope and creativity are overcoming despair and decay within the most devastated urban communities. Her book is a manifesto for creating alternative modes of work, politics, and human interaction that will collectively constitute the next American Revolution--which is unraveling before our eyes., A world dominated by America and driven by cheap oil, easy credit, and conspicuous consumption is unraveling before our eyes.

Fantastic, wide-ranging, and compelling work. Grace (RIP) translates her decades of experience across revolutionary struggles in a way that is accessible to people who may have never read a page Marx.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
