Chapter 1: The Age of Individualism Argues that the culture of individualism is an outgrowth of capitalism, and discusses the various ways in which this culture negatively impacts our activism. Chapter 2: Inequality and Activism Discusses the historical roots of global inequality and highlights the failures of liberalism to combat it -- this chapter is in significant part framed as a critique of Peter Singer's popular book The Life You Can Save. Chapter 3: Climate Change and Activism Points out that the environmental crisis has its roots in the structures of our social system. (The material in this chapter covers some of the same ground as Chris Williams' Ecology and Socialism, which Haymarket published in 2010. Chris was given a copy of Confronting Injustice a few months ago and he wrote me an encouraging email about it.) Chapter 4: The Way Forward Makes the case that we have to struggle to achieve socialism in order to create socially just and environmentally sustainable world. A pdf of the book is attached for you to review. If it turns out that Haymarket wants to publish Confronting Injustice, I would be interested in writing an afterword for the new edition.
