Agents of Change

Somewhere near the intersection of art and activism is a space occupied by those determined to make a positive difference. Gifted explainers, they seize our attention – provoking us to consider the plights of others, to delve into the injustices of the world, and to contemplate the consequences of our actions on people, communities and the planet we share. Here are some books by inspiring, trailblazing agents of positive change.
