Reckoning with History brings together original essays from a
diverse group of historians who consider how writing about the past
can engage with the urgent issues of the present. The
contributors-all former students of the distinguished Columbia
University historian Eric Foner-explore the uses and politics of
history through key episodes across a wide range of struggles for
freedom. They shed new light on how different groups have defined
and fought for freedom throughout American history, as well as the
ways in which the ideal of freedom remains unrealized today.
Covering a broad range of topics, these essays offer insight into
how historians practice their craft in different ways and
illuminate what it means to be a socially and politically engaged
historian.

"Protest Nation" is a guide through the speeches, letters,
broadsides, essays, and manifestos that form the backbone of the
American radical tradition in the twentieth century. With examples
from socialists, feminists, union organizers, civil-rights workers,
gay and lesbian activists, and environmentalists that have served
as beacons for millions, the volume also includes brief
introductory essays by the editors that provide a rich biographical
and historical context for each selection included. Selections
include a fiery speech by socialist Eugene Debs, an astonishing
treatise on animal liberation by Peter Singer, "Silent Spring" by
Rachel Carson, Harvey Milk's "The Hope Speech" and many others.
