IN THE TIGER'S MOUTH
SOC SHI
SHIELDS, Katrina
An empowerment guide for social action. Many who engage in activist campaigns eventually burn out, withdraw in fatigue... as is evident from the high turnover in many change organizations. We need a book that connects the personal with the political, the inner with the outer. We need a compilation of easy, practical methods for embarking on social action, and sustaining and enjoying it. Here is such a book! In addition to the author's own reflections and experience, we find stories from the lives of many activists, and an array of personal and group exercises so appealing and practical that one itched to try them straight off.
