More than thirty yrears of experience in the labor, radical, and black movements in the United States area distilled by the authors in these pages. 'We have written this book,' they say in their preface, 'for those Americans of our time who have become aware of the need for profound and drastic changes in this county, who want to do something to improve human life and are ready to dedicate their lives to this goal, but who are unable to see a path, a direction for their dedication; who are convinced that they must do something of a sustained character to change this country if they are to realize their own human identitiy and if this country is ever to get back on the human road, but who are not sure whether what they are now doing is helpful or futile, relevant or irrelevant.'
'The author of the American Revolution and Racism and Class Struggle, Alabama-born black writer James Boggs, and New England-born Grace Boggs (the daughter of Chinese emigrants) survey the Russian, Chinese, Portuguese Guinean and Vietnamese revolutions from their Marxist-activist perspectives. Out of their long experience in American labor and civil rights movements they write with an objectivity (and a sense of the cultural depths out of which permanent social change must grow) that lifts their book beyond mere ideological polemics. Every revolution is unique, in their view, and none can be taken for a model. The second half of their book examines American history in terms of class struggle, taking the long view that the poor and the blacks can liberate themselves 'only by liberating American society as a whole.' A stimulating book.'-Publishers Weekly.
