On Activism, Friendships, and Fighting : Oral Histories, Strategies and Conflicts

Common Notions

Conflict and resolution are the lifeblood of social movements. How, and with whom, do we find lasting friendship, support, and joy in a world in need of so much repair?\nIn On Activism, Friendships, and Fighting veteran organizer and social worker Benjamin Heim Shepard traces a pressing dynamic of social movements: friendship and conflict. The project builds on oral histories with more than thirty movement organizers\u2014from AIDS, queer, trade union, community, Occupy, and harm reduction-based movements\u2014reflecting on the lessons, meanings, and future directions of movements and collective organizing efforts. \u201CThere is a hunger for radical history \u2013 to give credit to past struggles, to learn from our mistakes and to improve our strategies for the future,\u201D writes Lesley Wood.
