Media reviews

“The breadth of Elbaum’s knowledge ... marks this book as an absolutely first-rate work of political scholarship.”—Village Voice

“Truly a superb work of scholarship that raises all the right questions ...”—Radical History

“It should be required reading for those interested in the modern history of social movements and for radicals of my generation who are trying to find out what went wrong.”—Los Angeles Times

“If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics, then open these pages and dig.”—Robin D. G. Kelley

Description:
New York, NY: Verso, 2002. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; Elbaum is concerned to reclaim the lessons of the New Communist Movement for today's activists who, like their sixties' predecessors, are coming of age at a time when the Left lacks mass support and is fragmented along racial lines, and when socialist theory and organizational models need a major overhaul. Here is an in-depth account of the Movement of the 1970s, from its roots to its demise, and finally we can understand why it inspired thousands of American at the time. His combination of superlative research and profound honesty sets an example for everyone who wants to understand what makes social justice movements work.
