In this book, Satin shows that the increasingly militant movements of the Sixties drove many young people away—and into a search for a political system and world that could work for everyone. He looks at initiatives and organisations that over the next 30 years tried to further that search, such as the New World Alliance and the early U.S. Green Party movement. Then he illuminates the 21st century turn to “radical centrist” and “transpartisan” political initiatives.   Each chapter begins with a brief, context-setting introduction. Throughout the book are intense, blow-by-blow accounts of organisation- and movement-building, as well as brief glimpses at over 40 often underappreciated visionary books. And always there are deeply honest accounts of Satin’s and other activists’ often shaky relationships with colleagues, family, and lovers—because getting healing politics right cannot be divorced from getting personal and interpersonal behaviour right.   You will enjoy watching Satin’s encounters with civil rights militant Hardy Frye, Weather Underground terrorist Mark Rudd, environmental activist Paul Hawken, “beyond GNP” economic thinker Hazel Henderson, futurists John Naisbitt and Alvin Toffler, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Gene Sharp, Aquarian Conspiracy author Marilyn Ferguson, critical race theory co-creator Derrick Bell, radical centrist author John Avlon, and more. Nobody, least of all Satin, comes across as all-wise here, and long before this subtle and courageous book ends you will realise that a truly visionary and healing politics can only be built if we’re willing to address all the behavioural, intellectual, organisational, and attitudinal issues this book raises.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746143150353,"sku":"NGR9781637586631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52405317075217,"sku":"NLS9781637586631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1637586639.jpg?v=1751277654"},{"product_id":"manual-for-draft-age-immigrants-to-canada-book-mark-satin-9781487002893","title":"Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada","description":"In print for the first time since 1971, Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada has once again become relevant in a time of major political upheaval in the United States of America.  First published in 1968 by House of Anansi Press, the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada was a handbook for Americans who refused to serve as draftees in the Vietnam War and were considering immigrating to Canada. Conceived as a practical guide with information on the process, the Manual also features information on aspects of Canadian society, touching on topics like history, politics, culture, geography and climate, jobs, housing, and universities.  The Manual went through several editions from 1968–71. Today, as Americans are taking up the discussion of immigration to Canada once again, it is an invaluable record of a moment in our recent history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51029532410129,"sku":"NIN9781487002893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52679907180817,"sku":"NLS9781487002893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53197065453841,"sku":"CIN1487002890A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1487002890.jpg?v=1750758327"},{"product_id":"new-age-politics-book-mark-satin-9780936878805","title":"New Age Politics","description":"Forget the term New Age, says Mark Satin in the introduction to this 40th Anniversary Edition of his book New Age Politics. That term was tied to an historical moment. What this book is really about is the new politics arising out of the social movements of our time, among them the spiritual, ecological, feminist, human-potential, and decentralist movements. New Age Politics was the first book to show that these movements were producing a coherent new political perspective or ideology. Today that perspective goes by many names: green, holistic, radical centrist, transformational, transpartisan. It has made many advances through movements as diverse as the Green Party, Tea Party, and Occupy. But as futurist David Spangler points out in a new foreword, the foundational statement of this still-emerging new perspective was New Age Politics. This new edition, streamlined and updated for our time, draws on nearly 200 texts, and at least that many late-night conversations with activists. It is all here: our drive for a life-loving new consciousness and better values. Our critique of deep monopolies like the private automobile and doctor-dependent health care, not just brand-name monopolies. Our vision of an all-win future that empowers local communities and enhances global cooperation. Our strategy that encompasses both inner work (personal growth) and outer work - everything from electoral activity to nonviolent action that respects one's audiences. Today, New Age Politics is more relevant than ever. In his foreword to the German edition, systems thinker Fritjof Capra calls it the blueprint for a new politics beyond . left and right, and in his introduction Satin holds up this edition as a common ground on which all the real alternative movements of our time can stand. Those who want to steer contemporary movements away from the twin shoals of Marxism and liberalism and toward a healing future that is uniquely their own will find this book especially useful.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51198628233489,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51198630658321,"sku":"NIN9780936878805","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0936878800.jpg?v=1750884816"},{"product_id":"new-options-for-america-book-mark-satin-9780809317943","title":"New Options for America","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis exciting book opens with the seeds of a hope planted by the 1960s and pragmatically trimmed and cultivated by the 1980s. It then ventures creatively beyond blind economic growth and the \"rather scary\" long-term consequences of our ever-expanding economic pie. It argues for those \"felt responsibilities\" possible only in a society that can transcend the limitations of a welfare state. For this emerging society it recommends ways to interact with other nations in today's multipolar world where economic as well as military power is decisive. The final section of the book, \"Ideals Are Not Enough,\" points out those guideposts already in place for the Second American Experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51822066762001,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51822067155217,"sku":"NGR9780809317943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780809317943.jpg?v=1752619376"},{"product_id":"radical-middle-book-mark-satin-9780813341903","title":"The Radical Middle","description":"The bible of an emerging social and political movement-the Radical Middle-that offers an agenda for change among politically restless Americans with practical advice on moving the agenda forward.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53302536798481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53302538797329,"sku":"GOR004266536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780813341903.jpg?v=1774109974"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mark-satin.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
