Description
New York has, since its founding, been a city of struggle, a place where workers lived, created wealth and spun out the rich cultural tapestry that has put the small island of Manhattan at the very centre of the world's imagination. It is a city of proletarian uprising, of abolitionist rebellion, of civil rights demonstrations and radical futures. Through 12 walking tours, Bruce Kayton takes us through this often forgotten history and shows us the New York of Langston Hughes, of Margaret Sanger and John Reed, of demonstrations and shootouts and marches.
Reviews
"Those interested in the history of radicalism in the city will be rewarded by the depth of Kayton's knowledge." -New York Magazine
