ITEM OVERVIEW
A new collection of four essays, in which Zinn writes about the role of artists, activists, and publishers in committing this "highest act of patriotism"—war resistance. Chapter One examines the unique role of the artist to "transcend his or her moment" to critique power and inspire others to challenge authority. Chapter Two follows the example of Emma Goldman and anarchism. Chapter Three looks at how Hollywood has used film as a forum for resistance. The book concludes with a historic essay on the role that grassroots pamphlet publishing has played in US movement building and resistance.
