A pretty solid read on understanding strategic non violence. It has a good overview of Francis Fox Piven's theory of disruptive power for Saul Alinsky's relational organizing. The book has a very liberal and centrist view of change and organizing but it's the best one I've read from this perspective.
It's not a bad history but it goes into a weird malthusian kick every now and then. I came for the random facts about the history of Alachua County, which it has. But the more interesting parts were briefer then I'd like.
Good read but uses some dated (period) language that's pretty racist. I get it, it was written a long time ago but still.
