Description

For far too long, Rodger Streitmatter tells us, mainstream journalists and even some media scholars have viewed radical, leftist, or progressive periodicals in America as "rags edited by crackpots." However, many of these dissident presses have shaped the way Americans think about social and political issues. Covering the last two centuries, Streitmatter tells the stories of dissident publications and press movements, and of the colorful individuals behind them: the labor press, black power publications of the 1960s, contemporary Internet on-line journals and much more.
