Description
Sarah Jaffe's Necessary Trouble explores the growing movements that are reshaping American politics. Over the past few years, ordinary Americans have become activists, driven by widespread discontent with the status quo. From protests against economic inequality to grassroots efforts to challenge corporate power, these movements are creating a new landscape for political activism. Jaffe spent years crisscrossing the country, talking to people about their frustrations and their plans for change. She witnessed the growth of the Tea Party, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and other movements that are redefining American politics. Through her conversations with activists, Jaffe reveals what drives ordinary Americans to take action and challenge those in power. As she shows, these movements are not just about reacting to crisis, but about creating a new kind of politics - one that is more inclusive, more participatory, and more accountable to the people.
