{"product_id":"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.","brand":"Litwin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050760552688,"sku":"9781936117901","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936117901_p0.jpg?v=1763657563","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936117901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
