Democracy in Print captures many of the most influential voices
from a century of United States history who have spoken out on the
struggle to make real the promise of democracy for all Americans,
railed against abuses of corporate power, renounced American
empire, championed environmental causes, opposed war, and waged
peace. It chronicles voices of the women s rights movement, the
civil rights movement, the labor movement, and the gay rights
movement. And on every page, it declares the importance of an
independent media, by culling the best of The Progressive magazine

Kenneth Galbraith, and profound essays by Theodore Dreiser, Barbara
Ehrenreich, Noam Chomsky, Upton Sinclair, Arundhati Roy, James
Baldwin, Edwidge Danticat, and Edward Said. The collection is
leavened with humor from Kate Clinton, Will Durst, Michael Feldman,
and Molly Ivins, and graced by poems from such writers as Mahmoud
Darwish, Rita Dove, Martin Espada, Maxine Kumin, Adrienne Rich, and
Sandra Cisneros. Fascinating interviews bring readers into
conversations with prominent cultural figures, including Chuck D,
the Dalai Lama, Allen Ginsberg, Amy Goodman, Harold Pinter, Patti
Smith, Susan Sarandon, and Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Eminently
browsable, this book is for anyone concerned with American
democracy, the global community, and the perils of the planet. With
contributions by actors and Supreme Court justices, comedians and
Nobel Prize-winners, Democracy in Print offers all readers
nourishing food for thought. "
