1. 1. Human Communication As Narration

   Toward a Philosophy of Reason, Value, and Action

   

   The book explores the concept that human communication is fundamentally a narrative process, emphasizing that people understand and interpret the world through stories. It introduces the "narrative paradigm," which suggests that all meaningful communication is a form of storytelling, where individuals assess the coherence and fidelity of narratives to determine their truthfulness and relevance. This perspective challenges traditional views of communication that prioritize logic and reason, proposing instead that narrative rationality is a more comprehensive way to understand human interaction and decision-making.

2. 2. Activism, Inc.

   How the Outsourcing of Grassroots Campaigns Is Strangling Progressive Politics

   

   A sociological analysis of how progressive grassroots politics has been transformed by the professionalization and outsourcing of organizing to paid staff, consultants, and contractor firms, arguing that reliance on donor-driven priorities and managerial techniques boosts short-term efficiency and scale while undermining democratic participation, local leadership, and the capacity for sustained, member-driven movement-building.
