Workers of the Word, Unite and Fight! by Mark Nowak

laurelinwonder's review against another edition

4.0

Mark Nowak takes on a subject that few writers are directly addressing even though it is one of the major issues of our time: the widening gap between the rich and the poor and its effect on culture and the written word. In his examination, he uncovers unread books, euphemism, racial slurs and exploitation, but he also unearths and presents specific ideas for social change. His writing is always alive with purpose and a sense of urgency. He wants to inspire collective action, which, he says, is anathema in corporate culture. In Workers of the Word, Nowak reveals how this vision is destroying workers’ lives. Also, through his example, he shows how to resist.
