RADICAL WALKING TOURS OF NEW YORK CITY (THIRD EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码: 12070016B91871

English Summary/英文概要: Too often, tours of New York City are paeans to power--extolling the fabled New York skyline and the robber barrons whose wealth built it up, praising the marvels of a city built largely on finance.

But New York has also, since its founding, been a city of struggle, a place where workers lived, created wealth, and spun out the rich cultural tapestry that has put the small island of Manhattan at the very center of the world’s imagination. It is a city of proletarian uprising, of abolitionist rebellion, of civil rights demonstrations, and radical futures.

This is Bruce Kayton’s New York, the town of Emma Goldman and Langston Hughes, of Margaret Sanger and John Reed, of demonstrations and shootouts, of community gardens and marches.

Now in an expanded third edition with a new Upper West Side tour featuring the Berrigans, Maxime Gorky, Lucien Carr and others, and updated sites reflecting recent anti-war and police-brutality protests, Occupy and Zuccotti Park, and more, these twelve walking tours, taking us from Battery Park to Harlem, from the Lower East Side to Central Park, offer a vital new perspective on the history of New York City and its place in the traditions of American radicalism.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 太多时候,纽约的旅游是权力的赞歌——颂扬传说中敛财大亨们的财富建立起来的纽约市建筑物在空中的轮廓,赞美一个建立在金融上的城市的奇迹。

但纽约自古以来,也是一个拼搏的城市,一个工人生活,创造财富,并纺织出丰富的文化织锦的地方,已把这个曼哈顿小岛屿带至世界想象的每一处中心。它是无产阶级起义,废奴主义者叛乱,民权示威以及激进未来的城市。

这是布鲁斯•凯通的纽约,是埃玛•戈尔德曼和朗斯顿•休斯的城市,是玛格丽特•桑格和约翰•里德的城市,是示威和枪战的城市,以及社区花园与游行的城市。

这本书是扩展的第三版,包含新的在上西区的旅行,重点突出贝里根、马克西姆•高尔基、吕西安•卡尔等人,以及反映最近的反战和警察暴行抗议的更新网站,占领祖科蒂公园等,这十二个徒步旅行,带着我们从巴特里公园到哈莱姆区,从下东区到中央公园,为纽约历史和它在美国激进主义传统中占有的一席之地提供了重要的新视角。(LNL)
