An Action A Day: Keeps Global Capitalism Away

by Mike Hudema, Jacob Rolfe (Illustrator)

"An Action A Day Keeps Global Capitalism Away," according to Mike Hudema, describing his action guide for the 21st century. This lively, challenging, and decidedly fun book is designed for activists and concerned citizens who want to change the world. Hudema introduces readers to a variety of issues, including social action, organizing, theatrical action, civil disobedience, and using the media. The book contains fifty-two tried and tested actions, one for every week. Each action includes a rationale--what you need to pull it off, and examples of where it could be used. From Radical Cheerleading, to Fishing in the Sewers, and Gas Mask Car Shopping, there's something for everybody.

[Peace · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was on my to-read list for ages; for some reason, I thought it sounded too intimidating to pick up. When I finally got around to checking it out of the library, it turned out to be a slim, colorful, fun book. The actions are all well-explained, with notes about what you need, possible risks, et cetera. I won't be doing any Radical Cheerleading anytime soon, but it was still educational.
