Dirtbag (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Amber A'Lee Frost | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The complete story of the victories and failures of millennial socialism, as told by the writer who witnessed it all firsthand.

Amber A'Lee Frost came to New York City as a working class activist in a punk band, arriving just before the start of Occupy Wall Street--the first major event in decades for a socialist movement that was nearly extinct at the turn of the century. She's been at the vanguard of radical politics ever since, as a writer, veteran member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and cohost of the wildly popular Chapo Trap House podcast. She has reported on millennial activism everywhere from the sunny streets of Havana, to the Labour Party's unexpected victory in the UK, to small towns in her home state of Indiana.

Dirtbag is a much-anticipated debut from one of the greatest emerging writers in modern socialism. This memoir is more than Frost's story; it is also the story of the only movement that has a chance to reshape our world. Both are chock-full of momentary triumphs, stupid decisions, new international friendships and rivalries, struggle, joy, setbacks, and heartbreak. Both are related with magnetic prose, remarkable candor, and unflappable humor.
