The End of Protest: A New Playbook for Revolution
by Micah White
Reviewer: Jon Greenbaum, Organizer, Roc/ACTS, a faith-based community-organizing project of Monroe County congregations
Is protest broken? Micah White, co-creator of Occupy Wall Street, thinks so. Recent years have witnessed the largest protests in human history, yet these mass mobilizations no longer change society. Despite global challenges, White finds reason for optimism as he describes tactical innovation for future generations.
