Product Description
"The Future Is Up To Us," is a selection of political essays written by Nelson Peery, author of the award-winning "Black Fire: The Making of an American Revolutionary" (published by The New Press.) "Black Fire" was a coming of age story, about questioning and deciding, about resolving never to "take low" or run away. It is about realizing that if you want justice, you have to be willing to bleed for it, but you also have to be willing to think out a strategy for victory. In "The Future Is Up To Us," Peery is the mature revolutionary responding to the questions of the American people. Peery introduces his vision of what a cooperative future could be like. . Always an engaging storyteller, he shares his experiences and answers questions about communism, capitalism and fascism; about poverty and plenty; race and class; globalization and robotics; about what makes our era different from all others and why it is possible today to achieve a new cooperative world. This book is essential to understand the present, to understand revolution, to understand the urgency and possibilities of the future.
