Synopsis

Opening with a brilliant, reflective essay by Eduardo Galeano, this book presents an entertaining and readable chronology of the last century. Also included is a history of U.S. aggression in Latin America and a list of the CIA's assassination targets. Illustrated with revolutionary posters of the 20th century.

It's the adventure of making changes and changing ourselves which makes worthwhile this flicker in the history of the universe that we are, this fleeting warmth between two glaciers.--Eduardo Galeano

--------------

As long as someone controls your history, the truth shall remain just a mystery.--Ben Harper

Radical History is a new series from Ocean Press seeking to restore our collective memory of events, struggles and people erased from conventional (and conservative) histories and media. These mini-anthologies include eyewitness accounts and historic, forgotten or ignored documents as well as new essays, chronologies and further reading suggestions. This series is designed to appeal to a new generation of political activists.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Whilst working as Chairperson in a university department of Economics, celebrated feminist Nancy Folbre saw first-hand how cut backs severely affected the quality of education and services available to students. In an incisive study, she explains how public education fits into the economy at large. As America faces a transition in administration, and a change in policies on public spending, this well-informed call to action provides a much needed perspective on public education.
