pickThis took a long time to get through because it is a lot of history (really cool history tho). It‘s inspiring, tho it‘s hard to imagine these kinds of radical actions not getting squashed today (tho I shouldn‘t discount the amazing work people are doing right now). A great Haymarket purchase and won‘t be my last.
Have had this one at home for a while, so excited to start it.
For several years I‘ve known this book to be a classic among the Left; finally reading it was truly a long time coming. DRUM & the League of Revolutionary Black Workers offer so many key lessons for trade unionists and other left activists today. As a UFT member, I‘m intrigued by the parallels between our union & the UAW, and how socialist organizers should engage with both the rank-and-file and the leadership. So glad I finally read it!
#bookhaul from Haymarket Books arrived just in time for me to pick up a bunch of extra hours at work. Maybe one day I'll actually get to read them.
We are all striving to learn more, read more, and know more about so many important issues right now. I‘m going to try to make everyday for the rest of this month a #Recommendsday for me..all books by black authors or the current issue that I‘ve read & recommend.
And since no ones reading is ever done, I‘m also going to share one book that I‘ve recently purchased or is on my TBR list.
