Organization for Social Change —- MICHAEL J PAPA, ARVIND SINGHAL, WENDY H PAPA —- http://utminers.utep.edu/asinghal/Book%20Chapters/Papa-Singhal-organizing-for-social-change-3.pdf

Challenging this restrictive dualistic sentiment, this important book argues that social change emerges in a nonlinear, circuitous and dialectic process of struggle between competing poles of action.
