Ideas for Action: Relevant Theory for Radical Change

Ideas for Action: Relevant Theory for Radical Change

Exploring a wide range of political traditionsâ€”including Marxism, anarchism, anti-imperialism, postmodernism, feminism, critical race theory, and environmentalismâ€”Cynthia Kaufman acknowledges the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of political movements and the ideologies inspired by or generated through them. Kaufman offers a coherent analysis without pretending to offer â€œthe final wordâ€ on complex issues. Instead, she helps orient a critical understanding of the social world and a glimpse of the excitement and rewards of serious intellectual engagement with political ideas. Fully updated to confront pressing issues of todayâ€”from mass incarceration to climate change, from the war on terror to the national security state, from rising inequality to a global shortage of care, Ideas for Action also examines the work of diverse thinkers such as Adam Smith, Paulo Freire, Grace Lee Boggs, and Stuart Hall. Kaufmanâ€™s insights break the chains of cynicism and lay a foundation for more effective organizing.
