Reviews for The Politics of Small Things. The Power of the Powerless in Dark Times.
"Sociologist Jeffrey C. Goldfarb serves up an absolutely inspiring book-length treatise on the positive ways radical politics are evolving, and what kinds of prospects for change this might open up.... Every old-school activist ought to read this. There is indeed life outside the so-called party." - Tikkun"
