Cultural Writing. Political Science. If you believed the media, you might think that America could be neatly divided into red and blue, and that each stand for very different things. But Joshua Frank and Jeffrey St. Clair have found evidence to the contrary in grassroots movements in the red states. The resistance in these places isn't always about revolution; it's about preserving basic dignity. Populist ranchers, marijuana activists, anti-capitalists, farmers, Native American revolutionaries, anti-racist activists, pro-choice crusaders, and environmentalists populate this anthology. "No myth is more urgently in need of debunking than the notion that the 'enlightened' residents of so-called Blue states are inexorably pitted against the 'backward' masses of so-called Red states. Joshua Frank and Jeffrey St. Clair have woven together a collection of gripping stories of these struggles, large and small, that are transforming the political landscape from the bottom up" -Sharon Smith.
