<b>A trenchant history of community organizing and a must-read for the next generation of organizers seeking to learn from the successes, failures, and contradictions of the past.</b><br><span><br>The community organizing tradition is long overdue for reexamination. In </span><span><i>Occupation: Organizer</i>, scholar and activist Clément Petitjean traces that history </span><span>from its roots in the Progressive movement to its expansion and diverging paths </span><span>during the social movements of the 1960s and ’70s, when Saul Alinsky became the </span><span>most popular “professional radical” in the US while groups like Student Nonviolent </span><span>Coordinating Committee, Students for a Democratic Society, and the Black Panthers </span><span>recast organizers as horizontal, antihierarchical spadeworkers—those who do the </span><span>work as part of the community, rather than standing apart from it.<br><
