Fire in the Heart

How White Activists Embrace Racial Justice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fire in the Heart presents an in-depth study of the processes through which white Americans become activists for racial justice. Warren shows how activists in community organizing, education and criminal justice reform develop a commitment to racial justice not just because it is the right thing to do but because they embrace the cause as their own.
