This eagerly awaited new book is destined to become
a key work in popular education. Education for
Changing Unions presents a rich, stimulating,
and provocative storehouse of practical and
structured activities, ideas, and debate about
union education. Written in a clear and accessible
style, the authors have created a book to inspire
working people and teachers in many settings and
locations. All the exercises and activities have
been widely tested.
Six thematic threads tie the book together:
community, democracy, equity, class consciousness,
organization building, and the greater good.
Evaluation, strategic planning, and survival for
the long haul round out the discussion.
See also the popular companion book, Educating
for a Change, Martin et al. (BTL,
1991).
The five authors are all seasoned community and
union activists with several decades of combined
experience. They have written widely on education
and equality.
