Description: Radical Walking Tours of New York City Very Good - Text Unmarked - Binding and Cover Clean and Tight - Ready to Ship By -- Bruce Kayton Published by -- Seven Stories Press, 2003, New York, 22 Pages, Illustrated, Trade Paperback, 8.25" X 5.5" X .5", 10 oz., ISBN -- 1583225544 / 9781583225547 [BACK COVER]"Traditional walking tours of New York enshrine the wealthy and war heroes by emphasizing what they've left behind. Rarely seen are those buried in their wake—those who fought the power, pushing for a better world. In Radical Walking Tours of New York Bruce Kayton leads us to monuments of those other heroes. Through Kayton's lens, the history of all hitherto existing neighborhoods is the history of class struggles, civil rights battles, and labor movements; these twelve tours provide as many exciting, provocative, and educational afternoons. You can visit, for instance: • Emma Goldman's long-time home in the East Village; • Langston Hughes's house in Harlem; • the site of Mabel Dodge's salon; • the apartment in which John Reed worked on Ten Days That Shook the World; • the site of Margaret Sanger's first doctor-directed birth control clinic. There are also surprises on Kayton's voyages: who knew, for instance, that Candice Bergen was amongst the Yippies who, in protest, threw dollar bills out onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1967." #Vintage #JohnReed #RadicalWalkingTour #readersofinstagram #EmmaGoldman #BooksBooksBooks #Antiquarian #Books #BruceKayton #CuttleboneBooks #booksforsale #MabelDodge #Bookstagram #MargaretSanger #bibliophile #booksale #instabooks #bookcollecting #LangstonHughes #instaread #CoverArt #NewYorkCity #Bookworm #collectiblebooks #SevenStoriesPress
