AREA contributors Amy Sonnie and James Tracy are going to be talking about their new book this weekend. You can read some of the early pieces from AREA that became part of this book from AREA #3 and from AREA #7.
Amy Sonnie and James Tracy read from "Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels and Black Power," a new book about the histories of working-class whites who rejected racism and formed the original Rainbow Coalitions with the Black Panthers and Young Lords.
This book is full of Chicago stories chronicling Rising Up Angry, the Young Patriots Organization, Jobs OR Income Now Community Union, Peggy Terry and more. Sonnie and Tracy will be joined by veterans of these organizations. If that is you, and you have something to say, let us know!!! Original photos and posters from the era will be on display all month.
