Hogan . . . here recounts the manner in which young people have grappled with the burdens of racism, discrimination, and gender bias in the last 50 years or so. . . . Some of the activists Hogan presents are familiar, e.g., Ella Baker; many others are less so, including Pat Hussain, Hermelinda Cortes, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, and a host of others, all of whom were (and are) devoted to ridding the nation (and the world) of ills ranging from systemic racism to environmental degradation and failures to protect minority rights. . . . Charting powerful activist legacies, the author leaves readers with hope for the future.--CHOICE Hogan's history is strikingly contemporary. . . . Drawing on and expanding the legacy of Ella Baker's role in African American and youth activism, On the Freedom Side examines relationships between generations of youth activism and intersectional politics.--Cercles
