Summary:
"Since the Great Recession, even as protest and rebellion have occurred with growing frequency, many social justice organizers continue to displace as much as empower popular struggles for egalitarian and emancipatory change. In A Voice but No Power, David Forrest explains why this is the case and explores how organizers might better reach their potential as advocates for the abolition of exploitation, discrimination, and other unjust conditions. Ultimately, his detailed analysis contributes to leading theories about organizing and social movements, charting possibilities for further emboldening grassroots struggles for a fairer society."-- Back cover.
