@pjw @natematias Even the first couple of chapters might be illuminating, in showing the way the prophetic tradition 1)criticizes the regnant order while also 2) energizing a desirable future. That alloyed state is hard to pull off, but so potent when achieved. I would also suggest a book called Living as Form. Artists working on civic and political life, making work between the imaginative and practical with humor, irony, problem-solving.
