The Dig: A Critical History of Community Organizing in America

Klimont Petijon's new book, Occupation Organizer, is a critical history of community organizing in America. In the 60s and 70s, Saul Winski recast organizers as horizontal, anti-hierarchical, speed workers. Only by grappling with its limitations can we learn to build durable, effective organizations for change. Blabered at Descent Magazine will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this spring. We'll feature labor leaders like Stacey Davis Gates from the Chicago Teachers Union.
