Social Justice Online Book Group - "Beaten Down, Worked Up" by Steven Greenhouse
Join us on the fourth Wednesday of every month for a safe place to discuss books related to various social justice topics.
On Wednesday, April 22nd we will be discussing Beaten Down, Worked up by Steven Greenhouse.
Award-winning journalist and author Steven Greenhouse guides us through the key episodes and trends in history that are essential to understanding some of our nation’s most pressing problems, including increased income inequality, declining social mobility, and the concentration of political power in the hands of the wealthy few. He exposes the modern labor landscape with the stories of dozens of American workers, from GM employees to Uber drivers to underpaid schoolteachers. Their fight to take power back is crucial for America’s future, and Greenhouse proposes concrete, feasible ways in which workers’ collective power can be—and is being—rekindled and reimagined in the twenty-first century.
This title is available through our website in regular print and as a downloadable audiobook.
