THADDEUS RUSSELL |
Portion Two of what should be a lively, politically-informed evening at Elliott Bay has historian Thaddeus Russell, who has taught at Occidental College, Columbia, The New School, and Barnard, discussing his big new book, A Renegade History of the United States (Free Press). "Thaddeus Russell's A Renegade History of the United States is a work of history like no other—a bold, controversial, original view of American history that will amuse, inspire, outrage, and, most of all, instruct readers. Russell strips away conventional wisdom and explodes many myths. In the process, he sheds new light on ideas, institutions, and people." - Alan Brinkley. "Thaddeus Russell has written the history of the American People Whom Historians Would Rather Forget: the whores, delinquents, roustabouts—the so-called bums and immoral minority who did more for our civil rights and personal freedoms than anyone could count—until now. There is no understanding of American feminism, sexual liberation, civil rights or dancing in the streets without this careful analysis that Russell has put before us." - Susie Bright. Also with early praise: Steven Johnson, Nancy Cott, Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Kirkus Reviews, and Elliott Gorn.
