In Another Politics, he examines the trajectory of efforts that contributed to the radicalism of Occupy Wall Street and other recent movement upsurges. Drawing on voices of leading organizers across the United States and Canada, he delivers an engaging presentation of the histories and principles that shape many contemporary struggles. Dixon outlines the work of activists aligned with anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-oppression politics and discusses the lessons they are learning in their efforts to create social transformation. The book explores solutions to the key challenge for today's activists, organizers, fighters, and dreamers: building a substantive link between the work of "against," which fights ruling institutions, and the work of "beyond," which develops liberatory alternatives.RadicalismSocial movementsPolitical aspectsSocial changePolitical aspectsAnti-racismFeminismCriminal justice, Administration ofAnarchismactivists.american protest.anti authoritarian.anti capitalist.anti oppression.canada.canadian protest.contemporary political struggles.ecological crisis.economic meltdown.government and governing.history.international movements.leadership.liberation.movement building.occupy wall street.organizing.political activists.political advocacy.political ideologies.political protest.political.politics.radical political thought.radicalism.social transformation.united states of america.war.work of against.Radicalism.Social movementsPolitical aspects.Social changePolitical aspects.Anti-racism.Feminism.Criminal justice, Administration of.Anarchism.303.48/4Dixon Chris1977-1649456Davis Angela Y(Angela Yvonne),1944-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQDLCBOOK9910825037203321Another politics3998213UNINA
