DESCRIPTION:The Hidden 1970s: Histories of Radicalism:Book release with editor Dan 
 Berger and contributors Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Elizabeth Castle, and James 
 Tracy\n\nCome to the warehouse Friday for a talk with some of contributors 
 of The Hidden 1970s, a new book (that we will be getting soon) from Rutgers 
 University Press!\n\nThe 1970s were a complex, multilayered, and critical 
 part of a long era of profound societal change. Indeed, several iconic 
 events of “the sixties” occurred in the ten years that followed. The 
 Hidden 1970s explores the distinctiveness of those years, a time when 
 radicals tried to change the world as the world changed around 
 them.\n\nThis powerful collection is a compelling assessment of a wide 
 variety of left-wing social movements during a period that many have 
 described as dominated by conservatism or confusion. Contributors examine 
 critical and largely buried legacies of the 1970s. Their essays provide 
 fascinating insight into the myriad ways that radical social movements 
 shaped American political culture in the 1970s and how they continue to do 
 so today.\n\n----\nDan Berger is the author of Outlaws of America: The 
 Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity and coeditor of Letters 
 From Young Activists. \n\nElizabeth Castle is an assistant professor of 
 American Indian Studies at the University of South Dakota and co-founder of 
 the Warrior Women Project. She is the author of the forthcoming book Women 
 Were the Backbone, Men Were the Jawbone: American Indian Women’s Activism 
 in the Red Power Movement.\n\nRoxanne Dunbar Ortiz is professor emerita of 
 ethnic studies at California State University, Hayward. She is a longtime 
 activist on behalf of indigenous sovereignty and is the author of many 
 books on the subject. Additionally, she is the author of three memoirs, 
 most recently Blood on the Border: A Memoir of the Contra Years.\n\nJames 
 Tracy is the editor of The Civil Disobedience Handbook: A Brief History and 
 Practical Advice for the Politically Disenchanted, the author of Sparks and 
 Codes, the coauthor of a forthcoming book about radical working-class white 
 organizations in the 1960s and 1970s who worked in tandem with radical 
 organizations of color. \n
