This bold anthology of social protest and art and literature spans five thousand years and twenty-five languages and is the preeminent collection of progressive thought, literature, and art. This massive, stirring, and insightful collection includes literature of social protest, progressive and socialist philosophy, excerpts from novels, poems, speeches, muck raking journalism, and art all in the service of voicing the struggle against social injustice. The Cry for Justice is not a history book, it's a book for inspiring a better future, as relevant today as when it was first published.
