What do activists know? Learning Activism is designed to
encourage a deeper<br>
engagement with the intellectual life of activists who
organize for social,<br>
political, and ecological justice. Combining experiential
knowledge from his<br>
own activism and a variety of social movements, Choudry
suggests that such<br>
organizations are best understood if we engage with the
learning, knowledge,<br>
debates, and theorizing that goes on within them. Drawing
on Marxist, feminist,<br>
anti-racist, and anti-colonial perspectives on knowledge
and power, the book<br>
highlights how activists and organizers learn through
doing, and fills the gap<br>
between social movement practice as it occurs on the
ground, critical adult<br>
education scholarship, and social movement theorizing.
Examples include<br>
anti-colonial currents within global justice organizing in
the Asia-Pacific,<br>
activist research and education in social movements and
people?s organizations<br>
in the Philippines, Migrant and immigrant worker struggles
in Canada, and the<br>
Quebec student strike. The result is a book that carves
out a new space for<br>
intellectual life in activist practice.<br>
