The Strategist's Best Books About Asian American Identity, New
York Magazine
The pioneering Asian American labor organizer and writer's vision
for intersectional and anti-racist activism.
In this powerful, deeply humanistic book, Grace Lee Boggs, a
legendary figure in the struggle for justice in America, shrewdly
assesses the current crisis--political, economical, and
environmental--and shows how to create the radical social change we
need to confront new realities. A vibrant, inspirational force, Boggs
has participated in all of the twentieth century's major social
movements--for civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights, and
more. She draws from seven decades of activist experience, and a
rigorous commitment to critical thinking, to redefine "revolution"
for our times.
From her home in Detroit, she reveals how hope and creativity are
overcoming despair and decay within the most devastated urban
communities. Her book is a manifesto for creating alternative modes
of work, politics, and human interaction that will collectively
constitute the next American Revolution--which is unraveling before
our eyes.
