Radical Connecticut People's History In The Constitution State - Andy Piascik - Bog

Who really makes history?
Radical Connecticut: People's History in the Constitution State tells the stories of everyday people and well-known figures whose work has often been obscured, denigrated, or dismissed. There are narratives of movements, strikes, popular organizations and people in Connecticut who changed the state and the country for the better.
Unlike a traditional history that focuses on the actions of politicians, generals, business moguls and other elites, Radical Connecticut is about workers, the poor, people of color, women, artists and others who engaged in the never-ending struggle for justice and freedom. It offers a fresh look at history that should especially inspire young people engaged in social justice work in an increasingly dangerous world.
