Yet this present moment is just a point on a journey that extends over a century of activism and struggle-one that has been kept alive by a powerful American tradition of inspiring radical alternatives to the status quo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProtest Nation\u003c\/em\u003e is a guide through the speeches, letters, broadsides, essays, and manifestos that form the backbone of this tradition-a much more accessible trade edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Radical Reader\u003c\/em\u003e, which was published for the academy. Here are the words-from socialists, feminists, union organizers, civil rights workers, gay and lesbian activists, and environmentalists-that have served as beacons for millions. Their radical arguments and ideas are links in a chain reaching from the present back through decades of radical thinking and movement building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrief introductory essays by the editors provide a rich biographical and historical context for each selection included. \u003cem\u003eProtest Nation\u003c\/em\u003e presents the most significant and brilliant examples of radical writing, in a concise volume geared for anyone interested in reconnecting with the deep currents of American radical thinking. These range from a fiery speech by Eugene Debs, the great socialist orator; to the original Black Panther Party Platform; to Peter Singer's astonishing treatise on animal liberation, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Indian Movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Panther Party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRachel Carson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCesar Chavez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoam Chomsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Combahee River Collective Statement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngela Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEugene Debs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetty Friedan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarcus Garvey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlotte Perkins Gilman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllen Ginsberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmma Goldman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbie Hoffman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin Luther King Jr.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuey Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudre Lorde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerbert Marcuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvey Milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKate Millett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobin Morgan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Robeson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJo Ann Robinson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpton Sinclair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudents for a Democratic Society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Singer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarl Wittman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalcolm X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Patrick McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595585044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595585042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.15h x 5.54w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 128","brand":"Timothy Patrick McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45481972695295,"sku":"9781595585042","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c14a2dc8-1e62-4de6-bea5-ea97286e4215.jpg?v=1715988211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protest-nation-timothy-patrick-mccarthy-9781595585042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
