Reviews
"This is the most teachable volume of primary documents and commentaries on American radicalism yet published. American Radicalism should find its way into libraries and classrooms, as scholars and students discover for themselves first-hand the legacy and the thrill of dissent for democracy's sake." 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

"The inclusion of some fine historical essays and important primary documents marks American Radicalism as a significant work." History: Reviews of New Books
