Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

For the past 35 years, radical historian and activist Martin Duberman has fought for a more equitable society. This collection of essays presents his views on matters such as race, foreign policy, educational reform, gender, and sexuality. There is a historical reconsideration of slavery and antislavery, a discussion of the political struggles of the 1960s and 1970s and the cultural battles of gender and sexuality in the 1980s and 1990s, and an evaluation of the current division on the Left between class-based and identity-based politics. Some essays are expanded and updated. Pieces originally appeared in publications such as The Nation, The New York Times, and The Village Voice.
