“This highly readable book challenges us to think differently about activists and social change organisations by highlighting the importance of everyday struggles for social justice and inclusion. Taking a theoretically informed and historically grounded approach, and drawing on a wide range of lesser-known examples, the authors inject some much-needed urgency, originality and optimism into the voluntary sector and social movement literature.” David Lewis, London School of Economics and Political Science
