"[An] edifying primer attuned, in the tradition of Preston and Williams, to connecting our contemporary crisis to the problems of the past.... Transnational in scope and attentive to intricacies of geography and intersectionality, the contributions to Rising Tide represent a promising wave of new scholarship on American radicalism."
-- S. Ani Mukherji * American Studies Journal *
