About this title

Synopsis

Stephen Smith is a voice from and for the next generation of fighters for social justice. Here he gives his colleagues an introduction to grassroots organizing based on his own experiences in a diversity of locales, such as Harvard University, Botswana and Chicago. Stoking the Fire of Democracy does what every good organizer does: tells good stories and asks good questions. Smith explains how "could-be radicals" recruit and support new leaders, turn isolated anger into targeted action, and more than anything muster the courage to make mistakes and learn from them. This book is for young people who want to know how to become what Saul Alinsky called "the fire under the boiler of democracy."

About the Author
