Description
Surmountable is the first book explicitly written for the millions of people who have taken part in protests or demonstrations but were left wondering what they achieved, and the millions more who sat out events because they questioned the potential for results. The book addresses these lingering doubts and offers a powerful response in the voices of front line social activists, political thought leaders, and every day citizens.
Surmountable chronicles the victories and setbacks of ten American and three international movements from the past century. We visited 15 cities across four continents near where history was made to seek answers to burning questions such as:
Is there an effective playbook for the modern activist?
How are successes and failures measured?
How universal are the value in the U.S. Constitution?
What can we learn from activists from outside the U.S.?
The result is over 40 brand new, original interviews that remind citizens of what can be achieved with political advocacy and social activism through civic engagement.
