Omschrijving
A history of home-grown American radicalism in the 19th century.
'By unearthing hidden history, Mark Lause describes the class struggle and working-class radicalism embedded within the American revolution. These working-class radicals also fought for the abolition of slavery, indigenous rights and women's equality. This is a must read!'
'A welcome antidote to the official myth of a country built by rugged, gun-toting individualists, Long Road to Harpers Ferry tells the story of collective resistance against slavery and exploitation in the early US. People's history at its best, Mark Lause's fine book brings this other America to life on its pages'
'In this immensely original and important book, Mark Lause brilliantly reconceptualizes the road to Harpers Ferry by recovering the anti-capitalist and anti-racist agendas of the black and white abolitionists who organized and launched the raid, establishing the "First American Left'
Mark A. Lause is Professor in the Department of History at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author of numerous books including Long Road to Harpers Ferry: The Rise of the First American Left (Pluto, 2018), The Great Cowboy Strike: Bullets, Ballots and Class Conflicts in the American West (Verso, 2017). He is a contributing editor to Labor Online, and he is on the editorial board of The North Star.
