One goal

a coach, a team, and the game that brought a divided town together
2018
"... tells the inspiring story of the soccer team in a town bristling with racial tension that united Somali refugees and multi-generation Mainers in their quest for state--and ultimately national--glory. When thousands of Somali refugees resettled in Lewiston, Maine, a struggling, overwhelmingly white town, longtime residents grew uneasy. Then the mayor wrote a letter asking Somalis to stop coming, which became a national story. While scandal threatened to subsume the town, its high school's soccer coach integrated Somali kids onto his team, and their passion began to heal old wounds."--Provided by publisher.

2018
[Argues about] the closed, inaccessible, leader-driven, and jealously guarded model of "old power" versus the open, participatory, and peer-driven "new power", which is power made by many and channeled rather than hoarded, and provides the tools for using new power to successfully share ideas and lead movements in business, politics, popular culture, and social justice, drawing on current examples such as Facebook, Uber, and the #BlackLivesMatter, and #MeToo movements.
