“In case you needed a reminder that ordinary people have the power to change history, and have many times over, check out Working Class History.” —Tom Morello, co-founder of Rage Against the Machine “Working Class History is broader than unions and job struggles; rather, it includes all emancipatory acts of working-class people, be they Indigenous peoples fighting for land rights, African Americans massively protesting against police killings, anticolonial liberation movements, women rising up angry, or mass mobilizations worldwide against imperialist wars. It is international in scope, as is the working class.” —Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of An Indigenous Peoples’‘ History of the United States “Working Class History has hit upon a novel way to communicate our shared history to a new generation of budding radicals and working-class revolutionaries. They make it clear that today’‘s victories build upon yesterday’‘s struggles, and that, in order to push forward into the liberated, equitable future we want, we must remember how far we’‘ve come—and reckon with how much further there is to go.” —Kim Kelly, journalist and labour columnist at Teen Vogue “Working Class History is essential reading for those seeking awareness of people who made history in efforts and events to create a better world.” —John O’‘Brien, Stonewall rebellion participant, Gay Liberation Front co-founder “Working Class History is global, diverse, and clear; bringing to our attention OUR history which has so often been ignored, neglected or misrepresented.” —Mike Jackson, co-founder Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners “I’‘ve learned so much from reading Working Class History. It’‘s a fountainhead of vital and inspiring information about the international class struggle. WCH is a crucial antidote to the 21st century post-truth right wing media blitz 24/7 assault on our senses. It’‘s important to have revolutionary heroes and knowledge of past struggles to inspire the rebel souls of the future. Long may WCH inspire!” —Bobby Gillespie, lead singer of Primal Scream “Working Class History is an essential reference.” —Ward Churchill, author of Wielding Words like Weapons: Selected Essays in Indigenism, 1995-2005 “An exhilarating reminder that ordinary people have dared to struggle, often won, and remade our world in the process. Read it, reread it, and fight on.” —Sasha Lilley, host of Against the Grain “Conventional histories treat discussion of class war as irrelevant or pass Description for Sales People
