To Activate, just open and read

Michael Jacoby Brown distills more than 30 years of organizing into his book, which every aspiring and veteran activist should own. “Building Powerful Community Organizations” can be read straight through as a primer on how to become an activist. Or, it can be a reference for specific problems—the detailed table of contents, chapter overviews, examples, self-study exercises, and index make information easy to find.  ... This book is strongly recommended for public and academic libraries, especially those with social service and management collections.
