I really really enjoyed this- it's a really good, very accessible basic primer on organizing for people who want to do more. The examples were all clear and accessible, and I would strongly recommend it to people who read The New Jim Crow and want to do something, or for others who have hit a point in their social justice education where they are beginning to feel helpless and need to begin to do something. Sometimes its overly simplistic, but I recognize that it's intentionally so in a lot of ways. This is an accessible and engaging guide that responds to the "what do I do now?" question most readers will have after reading Michelle Alexander's _The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness_. While the guide is pitched towards movements addressing the issue of mass incarceration, the lessons and examples Hunter gives apply to movement building for all kinds of causes (and, to be honest, may also help with just general interpersonal relations). This can be read independently of Alexander's book as a way to focus a group or campaign. I particularly liked how Hunter addressed popular myths about movements as well as the idea of the consent theory of power (or power as an inverted triangle that multiple factors are holding up). ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"Seeks to focus people in the direction of dismantling our nation's huge and egregious prison industrial systems, the old but new Jim Crow. In it, Daniel Hunter describes key organizing principles and offers an array of examples that describe concrete ways that individuals, organizations, and coalitions are achieving significant successes, which cultivate the soil for more and more significant campaigns in this crucial struggle"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The school-to-prison pipeline and the entire PIC are in need of healthy, peaceful disruption so that recidivism is decreased, the system is fair, abuses are eliminated, and those who serve their time reenter the world with the tools and means to escape the cycles that class systems and economic challenges create.
This book goes a long way in helping the average citizen and the engaged activist alike understand how to create a blueprint that can create positive change. ( )
