Change and the politics of certainty

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book engages with our desire to seek change in a world of increasing inequality, exclusion and violence. Deploying practical, academic and autobiographical illustrations, the book argues that although we might need to traverse the fantasy of certainty and security, we do not need to give up on hope.
