Ambiguity is the Answer
Timeless Strategies for Creative Change
In this digestible yet deeply researched book, Kyle Crawford weaves together a unique collection of histories to remind us of what it takes to truly bring about significant change in a world dominated by powerful interests: the use of ambiguity.
Kyle Crawford is a strategist who has worked with and studied movements and organizations for nearly two decades. He sits on the Board of Directors of the Kelly Strayhorn Theater in Pittsburgh, a creative home rooted in the liberation of Black and queer people. Kyle has degrees in sociology and social work, and was a Jonas Salk Fellow at the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, where he also worked on HIV initiatives.
“Ambiguity is the Answer is rooted in the discovery and fundamental belief that, in circumstances where we’re outmatched, ambiguity can offer the protection and possibility we need to succeed anyways.
How and why we can use ambiguity to make the impact we desire is the focus of this book.”
