Reviews for Social Change: Movements, Politics, and Technology

It is written in a clear, lucid style and grabs my attention immediately. Telling the truth about founding fathers and slavery from an Indigenous perspective, giving their rightful place to Black people as agents of history... well, it′s about time! -- Rose, Kate * Draft Chapter Review * This text goes more in depth about the struggles of black people and provides more examples of institutional racism. This text also covers topics like the second Digital revolution and red baiting which my current textbook does not cover. -- Omoregie, Jessica * Draft Chapter Review * I love how I don′t need to situate a historical context for students when I read the text—it is very clear what was happening in the world at the time, so I can spend more time discussing the topics rather than setting the stage for my students. -- Tesch, Brian * Draft Chapter Review * The strong critique of Western Civilization as a measure for progress/social change make the text as having a critical approach and that makes it really different from most texts I have used. -- Ziwoya, Fletcher * Draft Chapter Review *
