Cultural Writing. ALL THE POWER is an ambitious and accessible mix of history, autobiography, and how-to manual. Longtime inner-city organizer and punk rabble-rouser Mark Andersen takes aim at the illusions that tend to keep North American radicals self-satisfied but ineffective. Leaping from agrarian socialist experiments of the early twentieth century to embattled 1960s streets to the fiercely independent punk underground of the 1980s and '90s to the present-day global-justice movement, ALL THE POWER suggests how the seemingly most idealistic of enterprises--revolution--might be practically accomplished. "Mark Anderson is the living Holden Caulfield, committed to making the world a better place for all its children" --Elaine Brown, former Chairperson of the Black Panther Party.
