The Goals of Grassroots Publishing In the Aftermath of the Arab Spring: Updates on a Work in Progress

Stephen J. Parks

Abstract

Our mission is to provide opportunities for local communities to represent themselves by telling their stories in their own words. We document stories of local communities because we believe their voices matter in addressing issues of national and global significance. We value these stories as a way for communities to reflect upon and analyze their own experience through literacy and oral performance. We are committed to working with communities, writers, editors and translators to develop strategies that assure these stories will be heard in the larger world. —New City Community Press, circa 2000
