General Event Information
Revolt On Goose Island by Kari Lydersen
Thursday, July 23, 2009 @ 7:00 p.m.
Join us as
Washington Post
staff writer Kari Lydersen reads from and discusses her new book about the strike at Chicago’s Republic Windows and Doors Factory.
“There is much talk about ‘audacity’ these days, but true chutzpah is when the workers take over the factory and take on the bank. Kari Lydersen’s invaluable account of the Republic sit-down strike is an instruction manual for worker dignity.”
—Mike Davis, author of
Buda’s Wagon
and
City of Quartz
Afterwards, labor rights advocate Danny Postel will host a Q&A with the author.
