The Red Dirt one by Dunbar-Ortiz mentioned in the review is exceptional, as is the interview with Joe Bageant and the Carie Dann one. The examples of activists being effective is rather heartening given the usual conditioned failure of our movements. The recent election confirms the prescience of the editors.
