On our first trip ever to New York City (September 2015), I found this a fascinating and useful intro to the history of the Lower East Side - where we were staying. It is slightly dated now, as the area is changing rapidly, but it is chock-full of little-known facts about New York's radical political past - and the surviving buildings that preserve memories of it. ( ) I visit New York City three or four times a year, but I hate being a tourist, so this book has come in handy. It gets four stars rather than five only because it can be a bit outdated, mentioning certain buildings are X when they have since been converted into Y, but that's certainly not the fault of the author. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
New York has, since its founding, been a city of struggle, a place where workers lived, created wealth and spun out the rich cultural tapestry that has put the small island of Manhattan at the very centre of the world's imagination. It is a city of proletarian uprising, of abolitionist rebellion, of civil rights demonstrations and radical futures. Through 12 walking tours, Bruce Kayton takes us through this often forgotten history and shows us the New York of Langston Hughes, of Margaret Sanger and John Reed, of demonstrations and shootouts and marches.
