Sweet Dreams in America: Making Ethics and S… por Sharon D. Welch

Welch challenges educators and cultural workers to rethink the foundations of moral action in order to foster new methods of social change that will lead to social justice. Sweet Dreams is a lyrical and moving account of the pressing philosophical, moral, and political issues now confronting us. Grounded in affirmation of life and a rejection of cynical reason, the book offers a powerful story of hope.

I'm generally fairly receptive to a message like Sharon Welch's: not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, to seek pragmatic solutions that start from where we are rather than where we'd like to be. But I don't think I was the audience for this book, and I'm honestly not quite sure who is. It tries to be a practical guide for those working towards social change, but the often turgid, jargon-filled prose ("altermodern relational aesthetics", anyone?) is going to be alienating for anyone who's not an academic (and even then...). I also found Welch's attempt to square a circle—acknowledging the systemic injustices inflicted on minorities and calling for an engagement with indigenous wisdoms while also insisting that compassionate corporatism can somehow save us—off-putting.
