Global Grassroots: Perspectives on International Organizing

by Wade Rathke (editor)

Global Grassroots contains firsthand accounts of the experiences of community organizers as they struggled to build community organizations and power in their local communities. Organizers detail the lessons learned along the way and the best practices utilized by the most successful and longstanding community organizing efforts. Such a book is especially timely given the current state of social unrest across the globe with the recent mass protests in Egypt to the riots in the streets of England. Those interested in following the current political unrest, international relations, and strategies of community organizing will find these personal accounts both informative and inspiring.
