GRASSROOTS: A FIELD GUIDE TO FEMINIST ACTIVISM
Book ID/图书代码： 00500005B02469
English Summary/英文概要： From the authors of Manifesta, an activism handbook that illustrates how to truly make the personal political.
Grassroots is an activism handbook for social justice. Aimed at everyone from students to professionals, stay-at-home moms to artists, Grassroots answers the perennial question: What can I do? Whether you are concerned about the environment, human rights violations in Tibet, campus sexual assault policies, sweatshop labor, gay marriage, or the ongoing repercussions from 9-11, Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards believe that we all have something to offer in the fight against injustice. Based on the authors’ own experiences, and the stories of both the large number of activists they work with as well as the countless everyday people they have encountered over the years, Grassroots encourages people to move beyond the "generic three" (check writing, calling congresspeople, and volunteering) and make a difference with clear guidelines and models for activism. The authors draw heavily on individual stories as examples, inspiring readers to recognize the tools right in front of them--be it the office copier or the family living room--in order to make change. Activism is accessible to all, and Grassroots shows how anyone, no matter how much or little time they have to offer, can create a world that more clearly reflects their values.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “我能做什么呢？”，这是一个萦绕着很多人的问题，自9/11之后，这个咒语般的唱词在始终回荡在人们的耳畔，尽管标语的呼声如此之高，但是就是没有得到响应。
而曾经撰写过《女权宣言》的两位作者Amy Richards&Jennifer Baumgardner用他们的这本《女权运动的实地手册》对这样的呼声做出了的响应。Jennifer和Amy是两位相当活跃的女权运动分子，周游列国，从格林贝到哈瓦那，到处游说，唤起人们的女权意识，他们清楚地知道不管你是环保积极分子，或者对西藏的人权状况忧心忡忡，抑或者关心WTO发展、血汗工厂劳动状况以及伊拉克战争引起的种种现象，我们每个人都有能力出一把力，改变现状。《女权运动的实地手册》是作者本人以及众多女权积极分子多年实地经验的结晶，它指出女权主义者要走出诸如金钱资助、一个劲地给国会议员们写信这类被动的积极状态，要从充分利用个人优势来发挥更深远的影响力。《女权运动的实地手册》以个人故事为例，清晰明了地阐述了多个女权运动的纲领和模式，帮助女权运动分子通过识别和关注身边最唾手可得的信息----不管是办公室复印机上还是家中卧室里的资料-----确立了可行的目标并积极贯彻做好后续工作。
不管你是学生、居家主妇、艺术家或者是公司职业人，《女权运动的实地手册》都告诉你这样一点，无论你对自己的能力有何看法，你都可以积极地投身到女权运动中去，每一滴绵薄之力都有可能给你生活带去巨浪般的变化。
