{"product_id":"we-make-change-kristin-layng-szakos-9780826515544","title":"We Make Change: Community Organizers Talk About What They Do--and Why","description":"Community organizers work at their jobs because they are passionate, because they believe that change is possible, and because they enjoy working with people. Although it's not an occupation that leads to great wealth, community organizers can make a living at it. They get salaries, pensions and health insurance. They raise families. They do well by doing good. This book explores the world of community organizing through the voices of real people working in the field, in small towns and city neighborhoods--women and men of different races and economic backgrounds, ranging in age from those in their twenties to those in their sixties. Fourteen in-depth profiles tell the life stories of a cross-section of the diverse people who choose the life of an organizer. Other chapters, focused on issues of organizing, are tapestries of experience woven from the 81 interviews the authors conducted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Layng Szakos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826515541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826515544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Kristin Layng Szakos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517502959871,"sku":"9780826515544","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9d64062-f52f-4f30-a1af-7dc69d68f481.jpg?v=1778732022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-make-change-kristin-layng-szakos-9780826515544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
