After The Apocalypse : Finding hope in organizing

Our times of crumbling structures and decaying social bonds are often depicted as apocalyptic.

This book takes the apocalypse as a metaphor to help us in the search for meaning in our everyday realities.

Yes, the apocalypse is when social structures and institutions fall apart and we are terrified and suffocated by the debris raining down upon us.

But “apocalypse" also means “revelation”. The very collapse reveals what dissipating institutions were constructed upon: where there ought to have been foundational common values, most often there is violence and raw power.

Yet the values are there, too, and they can be found.

This book is a guide to these values, showing how they can be of help to organizers and organizational dreamers.
