O knihe

From Thought to Action: Developing a Social Justice Orientation empowers readers to successfully navigate their social justice journeys and channel their increased consciousness into direct action. The book provides robust historic, cultural, and social contexts, assists readers in managing the discomfort that often accompanies raised consciousness, and offers step-by-step instructions for initiating social justice campaigns and projects. The text examines various types of direct action, the art of dialoguing through disagreement, the risks and rewards associated with activism, the importance of effective leadership and collaboration, and activism in the wake of significant social and political issues, including police brutality and the COVID-19 pandemic. Readers learn about the challenges and successes of activists past and present, and are encouraged to recognize the struggles and achievements that define their own journeys. The second edition includes a new chapter on allyship and an appendix related to speech preparation and delivery. It features more global examples of activism, as well as additional experiences from Asian American communities within the United States. From Thought to Action is ideal for first-year seminars, service learning and community engagement programs, and a variety of courses within the social and behavioral sciences, including capstone experiences.
