Transforming power: New book by Judy Rebick
Hello! Good news from Judy Rebick a long term activist from Canada. She just published a new book on “Transforming Power”, her reflections came from the organizing emerging at the Global Movement taking particular attention to the role and the organizing though technology. I met Judy Rebick through the Networked Politics collaborative research (http://www.networked-politics.info) and enjoy particularly her framing of the movements from a feminist perspective, her curiosity for the new and the combination of ideas from several perspectives, and her strong caracter. See below more info on the new book. In solidarity! Mayo
Judy Rebick is very excited about her new book Transforming Power: From the Personal to the Political, which is coming out in early March. Transforming Power is the result of the last two or three years of her travels around the world looking for new approaches to political and social action and her life time of experience as an activist. She is hoping it will inspire dialogue and action about the new paths to social change we need to transform this planet and create a better world.
