Düss-Ruhr Book Club: The Persuaders At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds and Democracy by Anand Giridharadas

This month, we will be reading "The Persuaders At the Front Lines of the Fight for Hearts, Minds and Democracy" by Anand Giridharadas. 

"I usually want more friction in a book, but given his subject — how to save our imperiled democracy — perhaps reality has supplied more than enough of it. While the world seems to counsel despair, “The Persuaders” is animated by a sense of possibility: “Sometimes there were cracks that let a new thought in.” (The New York Times Book Review) The Persuaders, by Anand Giridharadas, profiles progressive activists and organizers who are embracing bold tactics to persuade other Americans to change their views.

All readers are welcome. RSVP here to receive the meeting information!
