“#RulesforRadicals” was written at a time of epic social upheaval in the #UnitedStates, and it was read avidly by #VietnamWar #protesters, #feminists, #civilrights #activists and warriors on #poverty. More than half a century later, a new mini-genre of “how-to” #books about #dissent and #activism has emerged, drawing lessons from past #protests for the era of “#NoKings” rallies, #BlackLivesMatter marches and the campus pro-#Palestinian #encampments.
Coincidentally but intriguingly, three of these books were #written by #Jewish #authors who, explicitly or not, are offering advice on resistance drawing on Jewish wisdom, role models and historical precedents.
The three books — “How to Be a Dissident” by #GalBeckerman; the forthcoming “On Courage” by #JuliaAngwin and #AmiFieldsMeyer; and “Be a Refusenik!” by #IzabellaTabarovsky — arrive at a moment of #protest fatigue and #political #polarization.
