Notes

¹ Eustis, ‘Notes’, no page. This shorthand for the Alinsky aphorism appeared in the artistic director's program notes to ‘The Good Negro’, which was staged at The Public Theater in New York in early 2009. Alinsky himself offered a more developed notion: “There are people who say that it is not revolution, but evolution, that brings about change – but evolution is simply the term used by nonparticipants to denote a particular sequence of revolutions as they synthesized into a specific major social change” (Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, 3–4, emphasis original).
