Description

In Accompanying, Staughton Lynd identifies and explains the differences between two strategies of social change: organising and accompanying. The key concept is that in accompanying one another, the promoter of social change and his or her oppressed colleague view themselves as experts, each bringing indispensable experience to a shared project. Together, as equals, they seek to create what the Zapatistas call 'another world'. Lynd applies the distinction between the strategies to five social movements in which he has taken part, including the Civil Rights and Occupy movements.

Author Biography:

Staughton Lynd taught American history at Spelman College and Yale University. He was director of Freedom Schools in the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer. An early leader of the movement against the Vietnam War, he was blacklisted and unable to continue as an academic. He then became a lawyer, and in this capacity has assisted rank-and-file workers and prisoners for the past thirty years. He is the author or coauthor of From Here to There, Labor Law for the Rank & Filer, Lucasville, Solidarity Unionism at Starbucks, and Wobblies & Zapatistas. He lives in Youngstown, Ohio.
