Mirrors or Mirage
Political Parties and Grassroots Movements
From: Quiet No More
$4.60
Chapter four surveys the relationship between progressive political parties and grassroots activism; a case is made that a grassroots influence in electoral politics is emerging, but one vulnerable to disruption by larger forces. An important choice that will bear upon the fortunes of each of the instances I discuss is the emphasis Left parties place on movement inspired practices.
