Summary:

"Since the Great Recession, even as protest and rebellion have occurred with growing frequency, many social justice organizers continue to displace as much as empower popular struggles for egalitarian and emancipatory change. David Forrest explains why this happens and explores how these organizers might better reach their potential as advocates for the abolition of exploitation, discrimination, and other unjust conditions"-- Provided by publisher.
