This is the first book to provide a substantive account and assessment of Zinn's philosophy and approach to collective action and, to a larger extent, democracy. The contributors to this book explore the most effective mechanisms by which to arouse public support for seemingly radical positions and how current technological advancements may alter our perception of Zinn's activism. The book is a valuable guide to a new generation of activists and scholars of politics in gauging the lasting relevance and legacy of Zinn's ideals, concepts, and methodology. The text is neither fawning nor unduly critical, unlike many discussions of Zinn in popular culture. Rather, the contributors engage the various complexities and tensions present throughout Zinn's work and subject them to contemporary assessment. This is a multidisciplinary and international approach to Howard Zinn's intellectual and activist canon. 606 $aSocial movements 615 0$aSocial movements. 676 $a322.4 700 $aBird$b Stephen$0441670 702 $aSilver$b Adam 702 $aYesnowitz$b Joshua C. 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819935003321 996 $aAgitation with a Smile$94012096 997 $aUNINA
