- Summary:
- This history of new left in the 1960s highlights the involvement of working class white people in the development of radical political organizations. Arguing against the popular conception that white involvement in civil rights, anti-war and social justice movements came primarily from the upper-middle classes, this volume explores grassroots organizations of working and marginalized white people working together across racial, political, and class lines to promote radical change. Sonnie and Tracy are long time political activists and writers. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
