This volume is a complete collection of June Jordan's columns for
The Progressive, published between 1989 and 2001. Jordan
(1936-2002) was a poet and UC Berkeley professor who is celebrated
as a great human rights activist and social critic. Through her
work, she taught a concept of "life as activism," based on
inclusiveness, consistency, honesty, and identification with the
oppressed. Far from being a purely idealistic and unsustainable
approach to life, Jordan demonstrated that "life as activism" can
be a way of engaging with the world that is accessible to all
people who are committed to social justice. The writings collected
here can be read as a road map to such a life of activism. These
columns provide a critical study of important issues from the end
of the twentieth century, as well as a clear illustration of the
intersections of many forms of injustice and oppression,
celebrating a movement away from single-issue politics to a
far-reaching activism.
