Beschreibung

Neuware - 'This book describes how grassroots politics has withered and what must be done to revive it. A timely message for America in the 21st century.'--Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley'Dana Fisher's Activism, Inc. is an extraordinarily important and incisive book, both readable and extremely well informed. An insider's look at today's civic activism and Democratic Party campaigns, it could well catalyze a national debate on the future and nature of progressive politics.'--Harry C. Boyte, Co-Director, Center for Democracy and Citizenship, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.
