"In librarianship today, we encourage voices from our field to join
conversations in other disciplines as well as in the broader culture.
People who work in libraries and are sympathetic to, or directly
involved in, social justice struggles have long embodied this idea, as they make use of their skills in the service of those causes. From
movement archives to zine collections, international solidarity to
public library programming, oral histories to email lists, prisons to
protests —and beyond —this book is a look into the projects and pursuits of activist librarianship in the early 21st century."
