Reviews

Eric Shragge has done it again. The first edition of Activism and Social Change was chock full of insights and lessons from his more than thirty years of radical activism and scholarship. The second edition expands the first to include the major issues of the past decade, from the challenges of globalization and neoliberalism to international mobilizations, including the most recent student movement in Quebec. No one knows the world of organizing and social change better, or presents it in as clear and lively a manner. Perfect for novices and pros, in and outside of Canada, who want to advance the struggle for economic and social justice.--Robert Fisher, University of Connecticut A rare opportunity for educators and students to embrace the history, theories, and contemporary models of community organizing. With the inclusion of the Quebec student movement in this new edition, it is a must for all those who teach about community practice.--Karen Hetherington, McGill University
