Imagine
If
A
Handbook for Activists
This is a must read book
for both the young and old activist; whether
they wish to improve services or change attitudes
in human rights, community development, health,
sport, arts or make a difference on a global,
national or local level. It clearly and succinctly
sets out steps necessary for activists to achieve
their objectives in a manner which supports
the values of social justice, humanity and
sustainability. Providing guidelines on how
to work towards solutions, the book encourages
readers to act, and to act now, without burn-out
or loss of one’s
sense of humour.
Written by Joy Noble, a social worker and author
awarded an AM for her work in volunteering, and
Fiona Verity, a lecturer at Flinders University,
the book reflects the authors' shared passion
and enthusiasm for translating ideas into action,
and in urging individuals to make a difference.
Format: 148 x 210 mm, 56

"Arundhati
Roy... said that '... when you have seen
a great moral wrong, to remain silent is
as much a political statement as to act
against it'. This is the truth which inspires
the activist. With that truth, and this
book, no challenge is beyond reach."
from the preface by Julian
Burnside QC
"As
a young Australian, I have many ideas and
opinions, but have not known how to express
them. This handbook shows me how to make
my voice heard."

"...
an invaluable guide for many occasions
and diverse contexts."
