An insider account of activists, politicians, educators, and everyday citizens working to change minds, bridge divisions, and fight for democracy--from a leader of Black Lives Matter to disinformation fighters to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-CortezThe lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things.

And leaders who seek to forge coalitions are labeled sellouts. In The Persuaders Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion pers
