Red Diapers: Growing Up in the Communist Left

Reviews

• Bettina Aptheker "extraordinary multi-author account of how it felt and what it meant to grow up Communist in twentieth-century America"
• Angela Davis: "A remarkable collective memoir.... It bears witness to a powerful tradition of radical 'family values' from which emerged a generation of leftist organizers who have made an indelible mark on U.S. social movements. Perhaps most importantly, this wonderful volume demystifies the process of radicalization by foregrounding the humanity of those of us whose family legacies have been defined by radicalism."
• Pat Devine, University of Manchester in "This is a wonderful book. Through it we enter a world populated by ordinary people who did extraordinary things in exceptional circumstances as they worked to make the world a better place."
• Howard Zinn: "These are fascinating glimpses of the lives of a special group of people, poignant and thought-provoking — an important contribution to the social history of our time."
• Meredith Tax, "Not only does it address historical issues central to the Left, but also questions of concern to anyone who wants to know how a political subculture can be maintained..."
