"Peace marches, protest demonstrations and campaigns for or against every cause imaginable have long been part of the Australian social and political landscape. This book blends the voices and experiences of insiders with an analysis of the successes and failures, the communication of ideas, and the social and political impacts." "It features interviews with some of Australia's best-known activists from the environmental, women's, peace, student, refugee and Aboriginal movements. With passion and insight, these people articulate their unique form of 'practical knowledge'. Activist Wisdom connects this knowledge to key social movement histories and theories, providing a look at the world of activism and its inevitable tensions."--BOOK JACKET.
