Dancing in the Margins
I am not an activist, I am a person who does some activism here and there. :) I started reading this book to get a better idea about what it would take to bump up my activism. But the first part of the book is rather intimidating to me... lots of deep, deep writing/journaling projects and intensive time management that sounds rather obsessive. I definitely do not have what it takes to be a "real" activist, and I am even more appreciative of the activists I know!!
The rest of the book, after that first section, was very informative. I learned all kinds of crazy things that I had never considered before! Worth re-reading, in the not-too-distant future.
