To Accompany is Political

“What does accompanying mean? Where do we do it from? What do we do it for? What bonds are created between the accompanier and the accompanied?… What political experiences are we able to co-create between those facing social issues and those who are not?”

Written by Florencia Montes Paez of No Tan Distintes [Not So Different], this book is a call for us to reflect on our own and our organisations’ actions in front of inequity, transforming ourselves in the process – to accompany, as a political act. Appearing for the first time in English, this edition brings a definitive work from the Spanish-speaking world to new lands and readers."

Rooted in the struggle and solidarity in working with homeless people in Argentina.
