Synopsis

Organize! links local organising with global struggles to make a better world. In over 20 chapters written by a diverse range of organisers, activists, academics, lawyers, artists and researchers, this book weaves a rich and varied tapestry of dynamic strategies for struggle. From community-based labour organising strategies amongst immigrant workers to mobilising psychiatric survivors, the authors reflect critically on the tensions, problems, limits and gains inherent in a diverse range of organising contexts and practices.
