Eye-opening book

This book details some organizing efforts of the 1990's. The essays inform readers of some of the injustices in our society, tell how these injustices were battled and analyze the success or failure of the efforts. A wide range of issues are covered-immigrant unions to school curriculums, police brutality to the internment of Haitians at Guantanamo Bay. This book is honest and does not disguise the difficulty of struggles for dignity, but is ultimately hopeful-positive change can occur.
