Hillbilly Nationalists Urban...

James Tracy, Amy Sonnie

Some of the most important and little-known activists of the 1960s were poor and working-class radicals. Inspired by the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and progressive populism, they started to organize significant political struggles against racism and inequality during the 1960s and into the 1970s. 
 
 
  
Historians of the period have traditionally emphasized the work of white college activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have often been painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. But authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie disprove that narrative. 
 
 
  
Through over ten years of research, interviewing activists along with unprecedented access to their personal archives, Tracy and Sonnie tell a crucial, untold story of the New Left. Their deeply sourced narrative history shows how poor and working-class individuals from diverse ethnic, rural and urban backgrounds cooperated and drew strength from one another. The groups they founded redefined community organizing, and transformed the lives and communities they touched.

Summary: Prequel - An American...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
'Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism' by Rachel Maddow, inspired by her podcast 'Ultra,' delves into the history of American authoritarianism, particularly focusing on a right-wing movement that emerged before and during World War II. This movement orchestrated a widespread disinformation campaign to weaken the U.S. war effort and align the country with the Axis powers. Maddow uncovers the shocking extent of this campaign, aimed at undermining democracy, promoting antisemitism, and eroding trust in democratic institutions with the end goal of authoritarian takeover. 
The book also explores an ultra-right paramilitary group that prepared for mass violence and insurrection. Parallel to these events, a group of activists and journalists worked tirelessly to expose this scheme. In 1941, the U.S. The Department of Justice took action against the conspirators but faced significant challenges, including political interference from influential figures, leading to a failure of the legal system. Maddow argues that this historical event, often overlooked and involving prominent officials, has had long-reaching impacts on American history and remains highly relevant in today's political climate.
