This is a book to carry to the barricades. Julius Lester—columnist, folk singer, radio personality, poet, and photographer—has compiled these Revolutionary Notes from some of his most memorable, searing articles written for the underground press. Lester's radical analysis and incisive wit are turned on all aspects of the struggle for radical change in American society—subjects ranging from the Yippies to Robert Kennedy, from Women's Liberation to the image of Che Guevara, from SNCC and the Black Panthers to George Wallace and white student radicals. The aphoristic prose style comes from Lester the poet; the rage and bitter humor from Lester the black militant; the tenderness, self-criticism, and commitment from Lester the revolutionary.
