Social Change and Intersectional Activism : The Spirit of Social Movement PDF
by Sharon Doetsch-Kidder
Part of the The Politics of Intersectionality series
Description
In oral histories of "intersectional activism" - activism that focuses on people whose lives are affected by more than one structure of oppression or form of discrimination (racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, etc.) - narratives of love, faith, and joy drive, guide, and sustain the practice of social change.
Reading these texts in relation to feminist, queer, and race theory and Buddhist philosophy, this book argues that an understanding of spirit is critical to explaining the power that social movements have to change hearts, minds, and social structures.
By highlighting spirit, it calls attention to the feelings behind social justice work and the spiritual power that gives progressive activism its moral force.
