Troubling the Water

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There exists a mosaic of ideas that fuel transformative movements for justice. Yet while ideas about power, politics, and policy are important, Ben McBride shows us a critical missing element in our efforts to build a more just society: becoming. Troubling the Water is a brilliant and extraordinary glimpse into the inner workings of deep social change. Through profound insights from his years of work, McBride illustrates how our movements require deeper self-reflection about who we need to become to create the world we envision. Bold and tender, visionary and practical, fierce and precious, Troubling the Water is more than a great read; it is a moral and ethical compass pointing us in the direction of who we all need to become.”
