Randy Shaw, The Activists' Handbook: A Primer (Second Edition) Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001
The media – whether mainstream, alternative or otherwise – is a critical element in movement organizing and African American protest. As a citizen and an activist, every day I read newspapers, watch foreign news shows, subscribe to news feed email lists, and engage in other activities to keep up with current events and emerging issues. Your engagement in the world will increase your enjoyment and interest in this class. It will also help you get the references I make during lectures!
