Cutting the crap

Rhetoric for Radicals: A Handbook for Twenty-First Century Activists

by Jason Del Gandio
(New Society Publishers,
2008;
$17.95)

If you have ever lived in a big city, then you have most likely experienced being bombarded with leaflets by a passionate activist while walking down the street. How many times have you dismissed these activists as extremists or radicals with slogans? There is no denying that our world is in need of change, however the passion of an activist may not easily translate to the masses, making it potentially impossible to affect change. In their rush to sway the world to their cause, a person's passion may eclipse the clarity and intelligence required in communicating the importance of a cause.
