The Revolution Will not Be Funded by Incite! Women Of Color Against Violence
The Revolution Will Not Be Funded gathers essays by radical activists, educators, and non-profit staff from around the globe who critically rethink the long-term consequences of what they call the "non-profit industrial complex," which works against the efforts of social justice organizations.
"A stinging indictment of what the authors call the 'non-profit industrial complex'" -- Elisabeth Prügl * Signs *
"Fiery" * Utne Reader *
"A crucial intervention into mainstream ways of thinking about political organization and social change." -- Ryne Clos * Spectrum Culture *
"Powerfully demonstrate[s] what we too often forget: our attempts at securing safety for ourselves and our communities are subject to much more powerful attempts by the state and society to make itself safe—including to make itself safe from us and our most radical, challenging, revolutionary, feminist ideas." -- Ruthann Robson * Women's Studies Quarterly *
"Although The Revolution Will Not Be Funded presents no easy answers for those of us struggling both to make a living and to create social change, it exhorts us to put the consideration of our movements' missions, and the way we fulfill them, before considerations of organizational and job security—and to regularly revisit within our organizations the question of whether the form and the content of our work are essentially compatible." -- Christy Thornton * NACLA Report on the Americas *
