DESCRIPTION:Al Sandine, author of The Taming of the American Crowd: From Stamp Riots to 
 Shopping Sprees, talk and book sale. \n\nHis book has been described by 
 Gary B. Nash (director of UCLA's National Center for History in the 
 Schools) as follows: “Sandine has given us a timely and indispensable 
 book. The Taming of the American Crowd is not only a spirited tour through 
 centuries of crowd action and crowd control but a searching meditation on 
 today’s consumer-crazy, politically passive Americans, who have 
 squandered the power of the assembled populace to address enormous 
 inequalities in power and wealth and to serve as an instrument for protest 
 and change.” \n\nBarbara Ehrenreich says, “The Taming of the American 
 Crowd offers a unique blend of popular culture and working class 
 history—written with great flair. Sandine is one of the few scholars 
 reckless and ambitious enough to take on a wide-ranging subject without 
 sacrificing analytical rigor. If you’ve ever participated in a 
 demonstration, gone crazy in the bleachers, or danced all night, you’ll 
 love this book.”\n\nPlease note: for our March lecture, Jonah Raskin will 
 speak on "Imperialism and revolution: yesterday and today", will be on 
 Friday, March 5. It will be held in the Sierra 2 Center, Garden Room, 2791 
 24th St., 7-9pm.\n\nAs always, our lectures are free and open to the 
 public.  If you wish to support the Marxist School’s endeavors, you can
