Reviews

"A stinging indictment of what the authors call the 'non-profit industrial complex.'"

-- Elisabeth Prügl Signs

"Fiery"

-- Utne Reader

"Powerfully demonstrate[s] what we too often forget: our attempts at securing safety for ourselves and our communities are subject to much more powerful attempts by the state and society to make itself safe—including to make itself safe from us and our most radical, challenging, revolutionary, feminist ideas."

-- Ruthann Robson Women's Studies Quarterly

"Although The Revolution Will Not Be Funded presents no easy answers for those of us struggling both to make a living and to create social change, it exhorts us to put the consideration of our movements' missions, and the way we fulfill them, before considerations of organizational and job security—and to regularly revisit within our organizations the question of whether the form and the content of our work are essentially compatible."

-- Christy Thornton NACLA Report on the Americas

"A crucial intervention into mainstream ways of thinking about political organization and social change."

-- Ryne Clos Spectrum Culture
