Grassroots Movements
Cogs that Turn Larger Wheels
From: Quiet No More
$4.40
Chapter two analyzes the role of grassroots movements in recent years and their common role as cogs that turn larger wheels (e.g., large progressive groups and institutions of mainstream politics). To this end, I review a “powershift” in green activism, the reemergence of Aboriginal militancy through the Idle No More movement, and grassroots campaigns to assist long-suffering Palestinians.
