	Democratic Promise - Saul Alinsky
		Alinsky's hard-nosed politics were shaped by the rough and tumble world of late 1930's Chicago.
		Alinsky envisioned an "organization of organizations," comprised of all sectors of the community - youth committees, small businesses, labor unions and, most influential of all, the Catholic Church.
		Alinsky also recruited leaders of previously hostile ethnic groups: Serbs and Croatians, Czechs and Slovaks, Poles and Lithuanians - always appealing to their mutual self-interests.

	Interview with Saul Alinsky
		Saul Alinsky is, along with Thomas Paine, Henry George, and Dorothy Day, one of the great American leaders of the nonsocialist left.
		Hearing of his plans, the panic-stricken Oakland City Council promptly introduced a resolution banning him from the city, and an amendment by one councilman to send him a 50-foot length of rope with which to hang himself was carried overwhelmingly.
		Perhaps the one achievement of his life that has drawn almost universally favorable response was the publication of his new book, "Rules for Radicals," which has received glowing reviews in practically every newspaper and magazine in the country.

	Saul Alinsky, The American Radical
		Saul Alinsky, who was a labor and civil-rights activist from the 1910's until he died in 1972, has written here a guidebook for those who are out to change things.
		Alinsky's goal seems to be to encourage positive social change by equipping activists with a realistic view of the world, a kind of preemptive disillusionment.
		Alinsky further seems to be encouraging the budding activist not to worry to much about getting his or her hands dirty.

	Saul Alinsky and the Lessons He Taught Bill and Hillary (Repost) [Free Republic]
		In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky says: “Here I propose to present an arrangement of certain facts and general concepts of change, a step toward a science of revolution.” He builds on the tactical principles of Machiavelli: “The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power.
		Alinsky is interested in the middle class solely for its usefulness: “Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class.
		Saul Alinsky urged the active and deliberate “conscious-raising” of people through the technique of “popular education.” Popular education is a method by which an organizer leads people to a class-based interpretation of their grievances, and to accept the organizer’s systemic solutions to address those grievances.

	Alinsky
		Saul never forgot it, and his was a life dedicated to the American way of not doing what everybody else happens to be doing.
		Alinsky would then go down the street, order a full meal at another restaurant, go to the cashier when he was finished and present the original bill for a nickel.
		Alinsky came in, schmoozed, got to know the people, made friends with the unionizers, made friends with the priests; and out of this gradually emerged a new kind of community coalition.

		Saul Alinsky was born in Chicago in January of 1909.

		Moreover, the striking issue which Alinsky seems to avoid is the realm in which individuals become personally responsible for their lives; that precise point in which the individual acknowledges that life itself is larger than a part, and that all problems are not the government's making, nor is government action necessarily the solution.
		Alinsky was a man keenly aware that he was a power broker, and who casually avoided the deeper implications of his ideological foundations.
		Alinsky is very human, and not the epitome of human virtue; and the difficulty with activism is that activists will cloak themselves in self-righteous virtue, absent the logical and rational justifications that support such a sense of righteousness.

	Saul Alinsky and the dilemmas of race in the post-war city
		This dissertation, “Saul Alinsky and the Dilemmas of Race in the Post-War City,” examines the ideas and experiences of America's most famous community organizer as a lens with which to explore both the potential and limits of neighborhood-based solutions to the problems of the post-World War II American city.
		In particular, Alinsky searched for local solutions to the problems of segregation, racial violence, urban decay, and white flight in his native Chicago by organizing both fl and white residents through their churches, block clubs, and cultural institutions.
		Alinsky's successes and failures in dealing with the politics of race and place in the postwar city not only help explain the social history of modern urban America; they speak to the enduring dilemmas embedded in the search for democratic, humane, and realistic solutions to the persistent problems of American cities.

	"In Criticism of Saul Alinsky's Utilitarian Approach to Communcation"
		It is even worse that Saul Alinsky would extend this philosophy to a point where the truth becomes relative, justice becomes a tool of those powerful enough to wield it, and any means are justified to reach one’s desired ends.
		Alinsky views war as societal conflict of any kind where “there are no rules of fair play” and even goes so far as to advocate masking agendas that may seem complex or controversial, in order to avoid losing popular support: “Goals must be phrased in powerful general terms”.
		While Alinsky’s advocacy of relativistic values in communication is regrettable in any application, it is far worse that he advocated the application of his approach to communication towards the attainment and use of power.

		She was in the midst of a year-long analysis of Alinsky's aggressive mobilizing tactics, and he was searching for "competent political literates" to move to Chicago to build grass-roots organizations.
		By then, Alinsky had died, but a group of his disciples hired Barack Obama, a 23-year-old Columbia University graduate, to organize fl residents on the South Side, while learning and applying Alinsky's philosophy of street-level democracy.
		Alinsky was a bluff iconoclast who concluded that electoral politics offered few solutions to the have-nots marooned in working-class slums.

	SAUL ALINSKY AND THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS FOUNDATION
		For me, that's no small comfort amidst the decay of democracy where voters are vanishing, the special interest money pours in and the president's bridge to the 21st Century leads to the end of the inheritance tax as we know it.
		As important as these functions were, the greater significance of Alinsky's voluntary community organizations is that they provided a connection between the individual and the larger society.
		This was what made Alinsky's experiment important, Daniel Bell wrote in 1945, in his review of Alinsky's book, Reveille for Radicals, because it "attempts to give people a sense of participation and belonging [and] becomes important as a weapon against cynicism and despair.

	Saul Alinsky: Homo Ludens for Urban Democracy
		Alinsky could stretch this target to include "liberals" of many stripes -- whose moral indignation and sense of commitment, he often observed, varied "inversely with their proximity to the scene of conflict." He took issue with other movements.
		Alinsky’s idea was that community organization was the instrument for overcoming racial conflict.
		Horwitt calls Alinsky "a swashbuckling Renaissance man." The Renaissance was as noted for rhetorical flourish and public drama as for enlivened preaching in pulpits and streets.

		Alinsky draws on his experience as a community organizer to explain the role an organizer can play in the process of building neighborhood power.

	Review of The Democratic Process: Saul Alinsky and His Legacy
		Lewis became Alinsky's mentor, teaching him the organizing principles with which Alinsky in 1940 formed the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), an umbrella organization for new organizing campaigns across the country.
		Along with Alinsky's theories, The Democratic Promise covers battles waged by organizations he formed, including The Woodlawn Foundation in Chicago and FIGHT in Rochester, NY, and shows how his legacy is being carried out today by IAF member organizations like East Brooklyn Congregations in New York and Dallas Area Interfaith in Texas.
		Additionally, more time could've been spent discussing Alinsky's ability to work inside the dynamics of race and racial polarization, since he was often organizing in African-American communities.
