{"product_id":"life-as-activism-june-jordan-9781936117901","title":"Life as Activism: June Jordan's Writings from the Progressive","description":"This volume is a complete collection of June Jordan's columns for The Progressive, published between 1989 and 2001. Jordan (1936-2002) was a poet and UC Berkeley professor who is celebrated as a great human rights activist and social critic. Through her work, she taught a concept of \"life as activism,\" based on inclusiveness, consistency, honesty, and identification with the oppressed. Far from being a purely idealistic and unsustainable approach to life, Jordan demonstrated that \"life as activism\" can be a way of engaging with the world that is accessible to all people who are committed to social justice. The writings collected here can be read as a road map to such a life of activism. These columns provide a critical study of important issues from the end of the twentieth century, as well as a clear illustration of the intersections of many forms of injustice and oppression, celebrating a movement away from single-issue politics to a far-reaching activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e June Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936117908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936117901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Litwin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"June Jordan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994350846207,"sku":"9781936117901","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13e4e4af-1760-4923-9523-a4fa28b6d5ab.jpg?v=1683329626","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-as-activism-june-jordan-9781936117901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
