Publisher Description
"Absolutely what we need in these days of spreading gloom." —John Holloway, author of Crack Capitalism
"A guide to a fulfilling militant life." —Michael Hardt, co-author of Assembly
"Rigid radicalism" is the congealed and debilitating practices that suck life and inspiration from the fight for a better world. Joyful Militancy investigates how fear, self-righteousness, and moralism infiltrate and take root within liberation movements, what to do about them, and ultimately how tenderness and vulnerability can thrive alongside fierce militant commitment.
Carla Bergman co-edited Stay Solid: A Radical Handbook For Youth.
Nick Montgomery is an organizer and writer currently at Queen's University.
Customer Reviews
Inciteful
Definitely envokes the question of what it means to be radical enough. Love the examples used to convey their points on certain tendencies that incite paranoia and perfectionism within the modern-day militant. Book serves more to create questions rather than answers to the everyday struggles within the capitalistic society we live in and as well as within ourselves and communities we are supposed to feel connected in.
