Transcommunality:
From The Politics Of Conversion – Softcover by John Brown-Childs
In this original
and collaborative creation, John Brown Childs offers unique insights into some
of the central problems facing communities, social movements, and people who
desire social change: how does one build a movement that can account for race,
class and gender, and yet still operate across all of these lines? How can
communities sustain themselves in truly social ways? And perhaps most
important, how can we take the importance of community into account without
forgoing the important distinctions that we all ascribe to ourselves as
individuals? Borrowing from the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois federation, Brown
Childs offers a way of thinking about communities as coalitions, ones that
account for differences in the very act of coming together. Using the Iroquois
as an example of transcommunality in action, he also offers specific outcomes
that many people desire - racial justice and peace are two examples - as points
of focus around which many disparate groups may organize, without ever
subsuming questions of identity as an expense of organizing. In addition to
Brown Childs' own exegesis, twelve scholars and thinkers from all walks of life
offer their own responses to his thinking…
