These reflections on the Red and the Green--out of which arguably the only hope for the future lies--are populated by the likes of Native American anarcho-communist Lucy Parsons, the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement, Karl Marx, José Martí, W.E.B. Du Bois, Rosa Luxemburg, SNCC, and countless others, both sentient and verdant. The book is a forceful reminder of the potentialities of the future, for the coming of a time when the powerful will fall, the commons restored, and a better world born anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Linebaugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Spectre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 4.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629631073","brand":"PM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081485205641,"sku":"9781629631073","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5ddc1a7d-cf82-4361-b0b4-ebccea7c45c4.jpg?v=1782240051","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/incomplete-true-authentic-and-wonderful-history-of-may-day-9781629631073","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
