Book excerpt: "Revisioning Activism" redefines and broadens the field of traditional activism to include the intersection between the inner world of individuals and the social/political world, encouraging dialogue across diverse viewpoints, and exhorting psychology to become a social change agent. Includes essays on social justice (racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia); weight loss, body image, and sexism; current events and national celebrities (e.g., Maya Angelou, Robin Williams, Lance Armstrong); widespread societal problems (e.g., gun control, addiction, depression); and popular psychology's failure to create sustainable inner and outer change.--Publisher.
