"This is the most teachable volume of primary documents and commentaries on American radicalism yet published.

Paul Buhle, Brown University
"Daniel Pope′s new book will be a valuable addition to courses on the history of American radicalism. It contains some of the best new scholarship on the history of radical movements and an excellent introductory essay. Professor Pope does a particularly good job of showing how radical movements have alternately transcended and come to grief on race and gender divisions in American society. It will be especially welcomed by students involved in current social movements." Mark Naison, Fordham University

Daniel Pope is Associate Professor and Department Head of History at the University of Oregon. He is the author of The Making of Modern Advertising (1983), and was a Fulbright Senior Lecturer at the University of Rome in 1996.
Beginning with the American Revolution, this volume looks at the radical tradition in American history and the social movements that have unfolded over the last two hundred years. It provides a key to understanding how these movements and the thinkers behind them have emerged.
Topics explored include women′s movements, anarchism, and the struggles of African Americans, urban workers, and small family farmers against slavery, discrimination, and exploitation. Arranged chronologically, the chapters each contain one substantial article by a modern scholar and four primary–source documents that bring to life the ideas and people involved in particular radical movements.
Daniel Pope′s introductory essay lays out the nature and meaning of radicalism in American history and he also provides notes to the articles and documents, chronologies, and suggested reading lists. The flowing combination of key texts and valuable editorial context place this book at the forefront of student guides to American Radicalism.
