Barefoot Guide 4: Exploring the Real Work of Social Change

This is a book about social change practices from many countries. It contains a variety of stories, analyses, and ideas, It also has many poems and illustrations to illuminate and enhance the text.

For activists, civil society leaders,  practitioners and students, this is not a book of easy answers, but one of experiences, learnings and questions,  all asking “What is the real work of social change?”   We have not attempted to provide “best practice models”, but rather something to be learned from, to deepen our questions, and to be more thoughtful in our practice.

You are invited to sample whatever catches your eye, whatever speaks to your circumstances and need. We hope that it will provide ideas and inspiration to many people working to bring about social change
