The Revolution Starts at Home: Confronting Intimate Violence Within Activist Communities by Ching-In Chen

5.0

I would recommend this anthology as must-read for progressive activists. The authors address interpersonal violence in activists' lives, particularly from a woman-of-color perspective, addressing the ways in which interpersonal violence harms activists and activist work. These essays also offer practical solutions, idealistic in their vision and realistic when describing challenges. With a focus on transformative justice, this volume gives activists actual strategies to address violence without over reliance on an inadequate and violent state.
