Boulder and London. 2013. Paradigm Publishers. 1st Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781612051826. New in Paperback. 6 x 9. 256 pages. paperback. keywords: Politics. FROM THE PUBLISHER-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 to this book engage the various complexities and tensions present throughout Zinn's work and subject them to a twenty-first-century assessment. This is a multidisciplinary and international approach to Howard Zinn's intellectual and activist canon. inventory #41178.
