Beskrivning
Motown and the Making of Working-Class Revolutionaries offers a fresh perspective on class, race, and revolution in the United States. Drawing on more than forty hours of interviews with former members of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, Scott and Katz-Fishman share the rich story of the League, including the women and students. That story includes the history of the automotive industry in Detroit, the 1967 Detroit Rebellion, and the wildcat strike that sparked the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement (DRUM). The authors describe the rise of the League from 1968 to 1971. They explore the centrality of struggle and political education as the League split and a section of League comrades moved into revolutionary organizations and social movement spaces, many of which remain active today. League comrades share their analysis of the current moment and staying the course of revolutionary struggle.

At long last! Here is the story of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, one of the most important working-class movements in U.S. history, as told by the very people who made it and lived it. Reflection on the experience of the League and the lessons we must draw from it and from the revolutionary political organizations that developed out of it could not be more vital at this barbarous time. Every social justice activist and proletarian intellectual must read it and discuss how to apply the lessons of our revolutionary parents, grandparents, and ancestors to the contemporary working-class struggle for an end to capitalist exploitation and to the racism, sexism, and other oppressions that capitalism generates.
