These reflections on the Red and the Green--out of which arguably the only hope for the future lies--are populated by the likes of Native American anarcho-communist Lucy Parsons, the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement, Karl Marx, José Martí, W.E.B. Du Bois, Rosa Luxemburg, SNCC, and countless others, both sentient and verdant. The book is a forceful reminder of the potentialities of the future, for the coming of a time when the powerful will fall, the commons restored, and a better world born anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367535411423,"sku":"9781629631073","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/nqDJeYjdWk9781629631073.webp?v=1789109768"},{"product_id":"the-london-hanged-crime-and-civil-society-in-the-eighteenth-century-paperback","title":"The London Hanged: Crime and Civil Society in the Eighteenth Century - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Linebaugh's groundbreaking history has become an inescapable part of any understanding of the rise of capitalism. In eighteenth-century London the spectacle of a hanging was not simply a form of punishing transgressors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather it evidently served the most sinister purpose--for a prvileged ruling class--of forcing the poor population of London to accept the criminalization of customary rights and the new forms of private property. Necessity drove the city's poor into inevitable conflict with the changing property laws, such that all the working-class men and women of London had good reason to fear the example of Tyburn's Triple Tree. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new edition Peter Linebaugh reinforces his original arguments with responses to his critics based on an impressive array of historical sources.
