Taking History to Heart: The Power of the Past in Building Social Movements Paperback - 2000

by James Green

First line

In 1968 FBI director J. Edgar Hoover warned union members to be aware of "fanatic, anarchist revolutionaries" from the Students for a Democratic Society who would try to infiltrate their organizations.

From the rear cover

Deftly blending autobiography and history, James Green here reflects on thirty years as an activist, educator, and historian. He recounts how he became deeply immersed in political protest and in recovering and preserving the history of progressive social movements, and how the two are linked. His book, written in an engaging and accessible style, tells powerful stories of people in struggle, framed by the personal account of his own development. Green's subjects range from the martyrs of the Haymarket tragedy to the Bread and Roses strikers of 1912, from depression-era struggles for democracy to the civil rights crusaders, from recent Rainbow Coalition campaigns to the latest union organizing drives.
