But even in the midst of what I was worried about as potential Arab [...]
Acknowledgments, a Foreword and Emotional Prologue give you a basis for understanding where Caridi is coming from, especially as student of Paolo Spriano, historian of the Italian Communist and participant in the Italian armed Resistance to Nazism and Fascism during World War II (WWII), and an Italian living in the Middle East.

Imagine, if you need to imagine, growing up in a home with an alcoholic mother, one who swallows pills while you’re right in the room. Rather than ask for help, she encourages your young, teenage self, to go out clubbing, so she, unbeknownst to you, can commit suicide. This is the world in which Rachel [...]
I am one of the two hundred or so of today’s activists who started writing David Gilbert after seeing The Weather Underground. I actually saw it a number of times before I wrote, and even that was actually after I found out his memoirs were going to be published. I think the strength of Love and Struggle compared [...]

One month before the Christian zealots’ judgment day and the Memphis airport [...]
Among the things the politically astute can take away from the Occupy movement is that, in periods of economic hardship, moments of vivid cultural expression can reveal themselves. Today, colorful and creative posters and art visually represent the Occupy movement. However, some moments are far more rare. Leafing through Woody Guthrie, American Radical (University of [...]
More reviews are forthcoming, but two new University of North Carolina Press releases on Cuba are worthy of note.

Policing of young men has reached epidemic proportions. In Texas, elementary school-aged children are being ticketed for what were once harmless school behaviors.
