"Includes the 'Activist's survival guide'"--Cover.
In the name of the father -- Rebellions -- Radical activism: Control, Conflict and Change -- Leap and a net will appear -- Past forward.
A priceless activist history lesson, What My Left Hand Was Doing chronicles the more common, less discussed reality of the day-to-day efforts, interactions, triumphs, and failures that reflect every movement. Castle explores a wide range of experiences, including the inevitable push-forward and push-back ignited by the civil rights and black power crusades, the challenging dynamics of white privilege, and why genuine political coalitions between blacks and whites have often been stalled by whites' unwillingness to become allies and defenders of non-whites' push for self-determination.--Publisher's website.
