What do Anderson and Accomando say about coalition work?  Write an essay in which you compare Ayvazian’s and Anderson and  Accomando’s articles and their use of the term “ally.” Where do you see their arguments as overlapping? How are they different? How can you apply these concepts to your own life and position in relation to social movements? Make sure you provide some concrete examples in your paper.
