Keynote: A lively collection of short, original interviews with leading thinkersOn its twentieth anniversary, the South End Press collective has gathered the left's most prominent intellectuals for a wide-ranging discussion of the past twenty years and the next twenty years of progressive social movements in the United States.
In 7 accessible, personal interviews, Zinn et al let readers know their most deeply held beliefs and hopes for the progressive movements they have led and nurtured over the last 2 decades.
Every one who would like to see a revitalized, more effective movement for social change in the United States whether feminist, anti-racist, populist, anarchist, socialist, union activist, or unsure will want to read Talking About a Revolution.
In Talking About a Revolution, you will find:
Noam Chomsky on GOALS:
"There are big efforts to make people feel helpless, as if there is some kind of mysterious economic law that forces things to happen in a particular way, like the law of gravitation. That is just nonsense. [Illegitimate institutions] are human institutions, they are subject to human will. They can be eliminated like other tyrannical institutions have been."
Howard Zinn on the FUTURE:
"The success or failure of what we strive for can never be predicted; the only thing that can be predicted is that if we don't try to do something about economic justice, race and gender discrimination, nothing good will happen."
