Radical Walking Tours of New York City

Radical Walking Tours of New York City

Traditional walking tours of New York enshrine the wealthy and war heroes by emphasizing what theyâ€™ve left behind. Rarely seen are those buried in their wakeâ€”those who fought the power, pushing for a better world. In Radical Walking Tours of New York Bruce Kayton leads us to monuments of those other heroes.
Through Kaytonâ€™s lens, the history of all hitherto existing neighborhoods is the history of class struggles, civil rights battles, and labor movements; these twelve tours provide as many exciting, provocative, and educational afternoons.
You can visit, for instance, Emma Goldmanâ€™s long-time home in the East Village, Langston Hughesâ€™s house in Harlem, the site of Mabel Dodgeâ€™s salon o the apartment in which John Reed worked on Ten Days That Shook the World, and the site of Margaret Sangerâ€™s first birth control clinic.
From Battery Park to Harlem, from the Lower East Side to Central Park, Bruce Kaytonâ€™s tours provide a new perspective on the history of both New York City and American radicalism.
