The article discusses 'Liberation Stories,' a new anthology coedited by Shanelle Matthews and Marzena Zukowska, which emphasizes the importance of narrative in social justice movements. They aim to address the lack of contemporary resources on narrative building in activism, unlike earlier studies that often referenced past protests. The collection includes case studies that highlight successful strategies used by communicators in social justice, ultimately aiming to empower and inspire more radical ideas and collective action amongst activists and writers working for equity.
The gap in terms of resources that were available was pretty stark. Many of the case studies in Re:Imagining Change were reaching back to the protests against the World Trade Organization convening in 1999.
In developing this collection, we looked for case studies and ways that people had built power for big, bold, radical ideas. We had a few books we referenced often.
