Agitation with a Smile offers a reappraisal of Howard Zinn's
political thought and situates his efforts in a contemporary
context, looking toward the nature of activism and dissent in the
future. This is the first book to provide a substantive account and
assessment of Zinn's philosophy and approach to collective action
and, to a larger extent, democracy. The contributors to this book
explore the most effective mechanisms by which to arouse public
support for seemingly radical positions and how current
technological advancements may alter our perception of Zinn's
activism. The book is a valuable guide to a new generation of
activists and scholars of politics in gauging the lasting relevance
and legacy of Zinn's ideals, concepts, and methodology. The text is
neither fawning nor unduly critical, unlike many discussions of
Zinn in popular culture. Rather, the contributors engage the
various complexities and tensions present throughout Zinn's work
and subject them to contemporary assessment. This is a
multidisciplinary and international approach to Howard Zinn's
intellectual and activist canon.
