Not as good as their old mimeographs,
This review is from: Organizing for Social Change: A Manual for Activist in the 1990's (Paperback)
This book is disappointing. While it may help a college student or other really new person grasp some of the concepts of organizing it is not useful to practioners.
The Midwest Academy used to have a very good training manual covering many issues. As the book got slicker looking the information got worse. Get Shel Trapp's old Basics of Organizing instead - much more useful, and free on the internet.
