Bridging The Class Divide

And Other Lessons For Grassroots Organizing

BY LINDA STOUT

Brief Description:
This book is a practical and inspirational guide to overcoming barriers of class and race. Again and again social change movements have been run by middle-class leaders. But in order to make real progress toward economic and social change, poor people--those most affected by social problems--must be the ones to speak up and lead. It can be done. Quaker Linda Stout herself grew up in poverty in rural North Carolina and went on to found one of this country's most successful and innovative grassroots organizations, the Piedmont Peace Project.
