Summary
A concise history that proves that dissent is patriotic. There have been dissenting Americans for as long as there has been an America. In American Patriots, historian Ralph Young chronicles the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States. He explains that activists are not protesting against America, but pushing the country to live up to its ideals. As he guides the reader through the history of protest, Young considers how ordinary Americans, from moderates to firebrands, responded to injustice. In a time when legitimate dissent is framed as unpatriotic, Young reminds us of the dissenters who have shaped our country's history. American Patriots is a necessary defense of our right to demand better for ourselves, our communities, and our nation.-- Provided by publisher.
