The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century Paperback – May 31, 2012

Wow! I just discovered Grace Lee Boggs and I am oh so grateful to have done so! GLB is a very wise and compassionate mentor to any and all who deeply believe another world is possible and that transformation begins within one's own heart and mind. If you have care and concern for our shared future, I urge you to read this highly informative and inspirational book!

This is not a how to or DIY book on sustainable community activistism in the shadows of Urban decay caused by Economic Globalization but a personal account of sustainable community activistm in Detroit. Boggs argues that public education is geared only to serve as college-unversity filters and feeders and with college AND because university education out of the reach for many of the city's poor the drop out in record numbers.Boggs argues that political agents are dynamic entities like MLK Malcolm X had to adapt to a dynamic socio-economic-political environment. Sustainable community activism must get the community involve in a major way and to get them interested activitism must look to address concrete needs in that communities and provide a definable service or product to be justifiable. Boggs looks a partnering with others to achieve this. Food Securityand Conflict dispute are two such community needs Boggs sees as needed. Boggs is not a Game Theorist or a Military General but she sees the heart of the problem and she knows a leader must win the hearts of his people before he can effectively lead them.

So many transformative gems from a lifelong activist and philosopher. Must-read for any stage of activism. Grace Lee Boggs is a national treasure

Arrived on time and in great condition.Great product and great price.Would buy again from this seller in the future.

A really great book. Think all our country's problems will be solved in the next election. ( or the one after that)? It's not going to happen. Change can only come from the bottom up, not the top down. Anyone that is concerned about the problems in our society should read this book. I got this book on Kindle and then purchased it in print too, so I could mark it with my yellow highlighter and keep it by my bedside to refer to over and over again.

This text challenged my perspective on a number of issues. GLB identified a number of issues that I hadn't considered much as problems. I'm fairly persuaded, though. But it's rather light on the practical solutions.

Thank you Grace Lee Boggs for existing in my lifetime. You are a beacon of hope for all who are hopeless. You have distilled the dreams of so many other wonderful leaders and brought them to life with your love and dedication to making this world a better and more hospitable place for all people.

I will name an object after this woman one day. Cant say I agree with everything she says, but I like her direction, passion, and sharp wit. Thanks for writing this book.

Super livre je le recommande!
