Traditional walking tours of New York enshrine the wealthy and war heroes by emphasizing what they've left behind. Rarely seen are those buried in their wake -- those who fought the power, pushing for a better world. In Radical Walking Tours of New York Bruce Kayton leads us to monuments of those other heroes. Through Kayton's lens, the history of all hitherto existing neighborhoods is the history of class struggles, civil rights battles, and labor movements; these twelve tours provide as many exciting, provocative, and educational afternoons. There are also surprises on Kayton's voyages: who knew, for instance, that Candice Bergen was amongst the Yippies who, in protest, threw dollar bills out onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1967. From Battery Park to Harlem, from the Lower East Side to Central Park, Bruce Kayton's tours provide a new perspective on the history of both New York City and American radicalism. Book jacket.
