Mickey Z. interviews, action alerts, and Ward Churchill the poet?
Groovy...
Joshua Frank: So Mickey, Disinformation has just published your fifth book, 50 American Revolutions You Aren’t Supposed to Know. You cover a lot of different events in US history that aren’t really that well known outside of certain circles and then there are a few that aren’t well known at all. Before we get into specifics, can you explain why you chose the events you write about in your new book?
My biggest fan?
MZ: I simply followed all instructions from my secret funding source deep inside the Castro regime. The more anti-American, the better, I say. Just kidding, Herr Chertoff. In actuality, I looked for episodes that ran the gamut from political to personal to cultural and beyond. I wanted to create a book that was open-minded enough to include everyone from Eugene Debs to Billie Holiday, from Public Enemy to I.F. Stone. The hardest part was narrowing it down to 50.

To me, the following quote reads like a poem...so that’s how I’ll present it:
You’ve got to learn
that when you push people around,
some people push back.
As they should.
As they must.
And as they undoubtedly will.
There is justice in such symmetry.
—Ward Churchill
(RMJ Party candidate in 2008)
