Reviews

"""Many people regard the present as a lull in political activism, certainly from the Left, although the Tea Party movement suggests that right-wing social movements are alive and well. This book challenges that assumption and suggests that the focus for organization has shifted to the Internet."" --Highly Recommended in CHOICE. Review by Y. R. Magrass, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth"
