This is a powerful collection of essays about community-based projects where storytelling is used as a strategy for speaking out for justice. Collectively these narratives demonstrate the contemporary power of stories to stimulate engagement. "It is difficult to underscore the importance of books like Telling Stories to Change the World. Indigenous Peoples are now revealing prophesies about an immanent end to dominant systems that are based on greed, corruption, materialism and an artificial separation from Nature, the very things that cause social and ecological injustice....Books like this one remind us that we are all related and that an arts-based dialogue that allows oppressed people to tell their stories can help with this awakening." --Teachers College, Record, October 16, 2008
