What books, articles or documentaries really changed the way you thought about activism and/or the world?
I’m from Hong Kong. As you know, recently we’ve had the Umbrella Movement—which sort of took all of us by surprise but is now settling down into a stage of “ok, what’s next”?
It therefore seems like a good time for me to educate myself on social movements in order to get a better understand what happened or possible next steps.
I’m looking for good books, articles or documentaries:
– that provide analysis of why/how social movements worked or not (e.g., the Occupy Movement, or any use of non-violence or civil disobedience)
– on how theatre, humour and art can engage to help social change;
– anything really interesting and relevant on democracy, capitalism, economics sustainability and our social order;
… and in particular, material that blew your mind when it came to understanding the social-economical structures of the world and how things can/need to change. Feel free to discuss the impact it had on you and how it changed your personal engagement with the world.
