If you'd like to read ahead: Feb. 25 -- A Fever in the Heartland, Timothy Egan Mar. 25 -- Poverty, by America, Matthew Desmond April 22 -- Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planet, George Monbiot ----------------------------------- In this eye-opening and compelling work, psychologist Melanie Joy reveals the common denominator driving all forms of injustice. The mentality that drives us to oppress and abuse humans is the same mentality that drives us to oppress and abuse nonhumans and the environment, as well as those in our own groups working for justice. How to End Injustice Everywhere offers a fascinating examination of the psychology and structure of unjust systems and behaviors. It also offers practical tools to help raise awareness of these systems and dynamics, reduce infighting, and build more resilient and impactful justice movements.
