Seventy-seven songs--with words and sheet music--of solidarity, revolt,
humor, and revolution. Compiled from several generations in America, and
from around the world, they were originally written in English, Danish,
French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Yiddish.
From IWW anthems such as "The Preacher and the Slave" to Lenin's
favorite 1905 revolutionary anthem "Whirlwinds of Danger," many works by
the world's greatest radical songwriters are anthologized herein: Edith
Berkowitz, Bertolt Brecht, Ralph Chaplin, James Connolly, Havelock
Ellis, Emily Fine, Arturo Giovannitti, Joe Hill, Langston Hughes,
William Morris, James Oppenheim, Teresina Rowell, Anna Garlin Spencer,
Maurice Sugar--and dozens more.
Old favorites and hidden gems, to once again energize and accompany
picket lines, demonstrations, meetings, sit-ins, marches, and May Day
parades.
