From Anger to Action tells the stories of the citizens' movements
charting new paths to tackle the big global challenges that lie
behind the political upheavals of our times. Drawing on candid
insights from citizens, activists, and innovators, and their own
experiences as leaders of internationally recognized advocacy
organizations, the authors give an insider account of the battle
for change and how it can be won - as well as trenchant criticism
of where traditional civil society has lost its way and needs
renewal. While unflinching on the dangers of the current political
crises, the book offers hard-edged hope and a vision for
citizen-led change to reshape our fractured politics. We meet
communities in economically-battered US towns welcoming refugees,
and LGBTI activists celebrating the success of their campaign focus
on love. We hear from Syrian activists reaching across impossible
divides between jihadists and Assad supporters, and go behind the
scenes with Mongolian entrepreneurs preserving heritage skills by
selling ethically-traded Yak-fibre suits on London's Saville Row
(yes, that's really true). We go inside the international network
of frenzied tax justice campaigners breaking open the secrecy
enabling global elites to evade tax on an industrial scale, and
using social media to drive change. Lamb and Jackson explore how
citizens' movements are transforming our global politics,
refashioning internationalism and fighting back against narrow
nationalism. The book analyses why some movements secure lasting
change - and others fail. And they show how these insights could
shape a wider strategy for grassroots-up transformation. From Anger
to Action will be of interest to social activists and anyone
interested in social movements, global change, and civil society.
