Rezensionen
"if you're looking for a practical how-to guide to building community power without a lot of excursions into the ins and outs of fundraising, Tools is just the ticket."
" It is well-organized and easy to use."
"...it is refreshing to see a book that focuses downward- at the community level- and outward- at social movements."
"The authors offer a guide to involving and organizing others -- especially the most marginalized members of society -- in a social-justice movement. Throughout the book are examples of meeting agendas, campaign plans, surveys to determine the key issues that are important to local residents, lists of desired qualities in community-organizing leaders, and other resources that can serve as templates."
This book provides the nuts and bolts for how people and communities that start on the margins can move to center stage. Tools for Radical Democracy shines the spotlight on what works, and will help spark the next generation of social change movements. To be sure, our country is in dire need of such techniques."
"This manual is an organizer's organizer. I hope many people will put this to use."
"This book is 'the secret' for building collective power for long-term social change."
--Nat Chioke Williams, executive director, Hill Snowdon Foundation
"Minieri and Getsos provide real-world examples of how ordinary people can become leaders who effect positive change. This book will be required reading for our staff and recommended reading for all our members."
"Students, scholars, and social activists alike will find something to their tastes in this how-to guide for rebuilding democracy from the ground up."
"Tools for Radical Democracy is for all people who feel themselves closed out by the decisions that affect their lives. Joan Minieri and Paul Getsos bring their solid experience in building a cooperative and forceful voice to the story of a community out and acting powerfully."
