Voices of Revolution

Streitmatter tells the stories of dissident American publications and press movements of the last two centuries, and of the colorful individuals behind them. From publications that fought for the disenfranchised to those that promoted social reform, Voices of Revolution examines the abolitionist and labor press, black power publications of the 1960s, the crusade against the barbarism of lynching, the women's movement, and antiwar journals. Streitmatter also discusses gay and lesbian publications, contemporary on-line journals, and counterculture papers like The Kudzu and The Berkel.

First sentence: As the United States entered the nineteenth century, the highly skilled artisans who worked in their own homes to create customized items for individual patrons were replaced by large-scale operations in which unskilled workers produced identical units in quantity and at lower cost.
