Critics Review
“[Zúniga] turns his considerable insight and energy to detailing a manifesto for…radical social change.”—Booklist
“Passionate and accessible prose guaranteed to inspire and empower.”—Elizabeth Edwards
“Studded with practical tips and inspirational tales, teaches…how to turn your voice into a force-multiplier without losing your soul…”—James Wolcott, Vanity Fair columnist
“Tidily organized into pithy directives, including mobilizing, reinventing the street protest and feeding the backlash, this informative and entertaining book…moves easily among the current campaign cycle, pop culture phenomena such as Stephen Colbert and the successes and failures of the progressive movement in America.”—*Publishers Weekly (starred review)
