Smart insights to distinguish “conflict” from “abuse.”

Someone sent me an e-mail expressing support for “Conflict is Not Abuse” from Sarah Schulman.  I searched for information about the book and found this very insightful article.  It offers smart, practical and compassionate ways out of the traps that many people — especially progressives — get into regarding how we deal with social justice issues at an interpersonal level.

Rather than try to summarize her helpful insights here, I encourage you to read this information about her book:
