As promised here is a list of books I have in my collection that
deal with the subjects of political activism, organizing, leadership
development, and community organizing. Those I have marked with an
asterisk (*) have proven to be especially useful to me.
* "How People Get Power", by Si Kahn. 1994 (Latest edition)
* "Organizing", by Si Kahn. 1991 ( " " )
"Political Organizing in Grassroots Politics", by Daniel
Russell. 1990 ( Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now or ACORN's organizing handbook).
"Rules for Radicals", By Saul Alinsky. 1971
* "War Resister League--Organizer's Manual. 1981 (You may have to
look for this in an academic library, as it is out of print).
* "Resource Manual for a Living Revolution", by Virginia Coover,
et al. 1981
* "Organizing for Power and Empowerment", by Jacqueline B.
Mondros and Scott M. Wilson. 1994 (An amazing book, has a chapter
called Maintaining and Deepening Membership Participation...)
"Organizing for Community Action", by Steve Burghardt. 1982
"NORML Activist Packet", Available for $15 from National NORML.
I recently purchased a copy and have found it to be an excellent
resource. A must for any marijuana activist.
"Why We Can't Wait", by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. 1964
(This is a first hand account of the campaign to desegregate
Birmingham, Alabama. Great stuff on CD in America).
"Conquest of Violence", by Joan Bondurant. 1965 (Analysis of five
Ghandhian campaigns).
"Steal This Book", by Abbie Hoffman. 1971 (Learn why the power
structure hated the Yippies...)
"Roots to Power: A Manual for Grassroots Organizing", by W.
Collette. 1984
I hope people take the time to check at least a few of these out.
Like I said before, why should we re-invent the wheel? There is a huge
amount of practical knowledge, all based on hard experience, out there
for us to use.
