Liberation Stories: Building Narrative Power for 21st-Century Social Movements - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

From an international cast of leading activist communicators, a timely and instructive handbook for telling stories that change the world

The twenty-first century has seen a profound shift in the global sociopolitical and economic landscape, shaped by seismic interventions ranging from the War on Terror to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 2000 and 2024, social movements like Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate justice, the Fight for $15, Palestine liberation, health care for all, and queer and trans resistance have illuminated a new narrative―one rooted in an inclusive vision of society, driven by a newly politicized and radicalized generation. This shift did not happen by chance. Movement workers have meticulously crafted communications and narrative strategies, honing their political messaging and storytelling to seize narrative power in today’s struggles.

In Liberation Stories, today’s foremost progressive and leftist communicators, organizers, artists, journalists, and academics share their collective wisdom in one powerful volume. Featuring in-depth case studies of both contemporary and historical movements, Liberation Stories distills successful theories, strategies, and tactics for anyone wanting to understand―and participate in―the diverse initiatives currently shaping our society.

As far-right and conservative movements gain traction worldwide―attacking our books, our bodies, and our democracies―Liberation Stories emerges as a vital resource for constructing the world we envision, one story at a time.
