Left in the Midwest Re: Night of the living Yoshie

[Chris Kromm]

Actually, "Detroit: I Do Mind Dying" is more specifically it's about the
Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement and the League of Revolutionary Black
Workers. It is on my "10 Essential Books" list for understanding prospects
for radical transformation in this country. The era it describes is over --
but the approach is still instructive.

By the way, I think the South -- not the Midwest -- is the lynchpin for
progressive change. But I agree with the gist of Yoshie's argument.

There's a good book: DEtroit: I Do Mind Dying, by Dan Georgakas (sp?) about
Detroit in the 1970s. It concern sthe living conditions and struggles of
flyovers who do not live on the coasts and don't matter, so you SF-NY-DC-LA
types can ignore it.
