We resist : defending the common good in hostile times
Cynthia Levine-Rasky (Editor), Lisa Kowalchuk (Editor)
Presents a collection of essays demonstrating that the things we often take for granted--safety, family, employment, health, a promising future--are under attack by growing far-right populous movements within the United States and other democratic countries, and we must fight to preserve these resources before it's too late. This volume gathers the perspectives of scholars and activists who are deeply embedded within political and community struggles, who participate in policy decisions, and who are engaged in research that advances those struggles. This collection confronts the problems we face as a human community and impels a cross-sectoral movement to defend our rights and revitalize the common good. Into a world of bully-boy heads of state and the rise of xenophobic right-wing populism, comes this collection reminding us that the common good is still attainable, if fragile. It depends on our ability to work collectively, to build community and to cherish our diversity, always advocating for human rights, respect and dignity. --Adapted from publisher description
