50 American Revolutions You're Not Supposed

"Since when is it unpatriotic to dissent? Why is it "un-American" to question our government's policies? And how did the far-right manage to claim the flag exclusively for itself? In this invaluable reference guide, you'll find 50 reasons to be a proud, progressive patriot. In addition to concise essays on everything and everyone from The Bill of Rights to Disability Rights, Coxey's Army to Public Enemy, author Mickey Z also highlights important milestones along the timeline of the book, making for a complete picture of United States history, both good and bad."--BOOK JACKET.
