Learning and Education for a Better World: The Role of Social Movements. Budd L. Hall, Darlene E. Clover, Jim Crowther and Eurig Scandrett (Eds.)

Abstract

My overall impression, after reading the twelve chapters of this book, is of resistance –  like shafts of light in all corners of the globe breaking through the gloom of a world fixated on greed. As an activist, I was excited to read about creative social movements and take lessons for my own involvement; as an adult educator, there was much to ponder about how and whether a revolutionary message can be imparted from the comfort of state-funded institutions.
