David Forrest Releases New Book
David Forrest's new book, (University of Minnesota Press), was released this week. The book examines the work of social justice organizations in Minneapolis following the 2008 recession. Through this examination, it explains why social justice organizations more broadly so often displace as much as empower popular struggles for egalitarian and emancipatory change. And it explores how they can better reach their potential as advocates for the abolition of exploitation, discrimination, and other unjust practices. The book is available in paperback and can currently be from the University of Minnesota Press at a 40% discount using this code: MN89530 (code expires Oct. 1, 2022).
