This is the story of ‘the social cure’ – how our connections with each other can be mobilised to effect radical change.
The social revolution that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tina Rosenberg explores has drawn oppressed Indian women out of misery, persuaded teenagers to demand safe sex, and prompted minority students to excel in university. It has helped cure tuberculosis, given soldiers the confidence to face enemy fire, and organized the nonviolent overthrow of a brutal dictator.
Radical and optimistic, from tackling extremism in Brixton to the fall of Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia, Join the Club explains how social entrepreneurs can use positive peer pressure to help ordinary people accomplish extraordinary goals.
