Q&A: Stephen Duncombe, Author, Activist and Professor
Stephen Duncombe is a long-time activist and a professor of at the Gallatin School at New York University.
His new book Dream: Re-imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy urges progressives to tap into popular fantasies and desires and to develop a politics that imagines and embodies a better world rather than simply "speaking truth."
To clarify his point, he enlists a wildly eclectic group -- everything from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Las Vegas to Cindy Sheehan and the Billionaires for Bush.
