ix, 355 p. : il. ; 23 cm. "Radicals in America offers the first complete and continuous history of left-wing social movements in the United States from the Second World War to the present. The book traces the full panoply of radical activist causes--socialism, Communism, the labor movement, anarchism, pacifism, anti-racism, women's rights, LGBT liberation, ecology, indigenous rights, and world social justice--in ways that show how successive generations join currents of dissent, face setbacks and political repression, and generate new challenges to the status quo, even in periods when conservatism appears to push protest to the margins of American society"-- Introduction: Margin and Mainstream in the American Radical Experience -- War and Peace, 1939-1948 -- All Over this Land, 1949-1959 -- A New Left, 1960-1964 -- The Revolution Will Be Live, 1965-1973 -- Anticipation, 1973-1980 -- Over the Rainbow, 1981-1989 -- What Democracy Looks Like, 1990 to the Present -- Conclusion: Radicalism's Future.
