About this listen

From Cairo to cyberspace, from Main Street to Wall Street, today's social movements have a creative new edge that’s blurring the boundaries between artist and activist, hacker and dreamer. But the principles that make for successful creative action rarely get hashed out or written down.

Until now.

Beautiful Trouble brings together ten grassroots groups and dozens of seasoned artists and activists from around the world to distill their best practices into a toolbox for creative action. Among the groups included are Agit-Pop/The Other 98%, The Yes Men/Yes Labs, Code Pink, SmartMeme, The Ruckus Society, Beyond the Choir, The Center for Artistic Activism, Waging Nonviolence, Alliance of Community Trainers Nonviolence International and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.

Beautiful Trouble puts the accumulated wisdom of decades of creative protest into the hands of the next generation of change-makers.

Couldn’t wait to finish it and delete it from my phone and library. Just horrid.

Good overview of history, creative ways and tactics. The main thing that Im taking away with me is the realisation to what extent activists and resistance have shaped our society, if before I seen protests mainly as a great idea that usually brings no change whatsoever, but after listening to this book my perspective have changed, and it fills me with hope .
