520 _a"Dissent has shaped the United States: its past, present, and its future. In Dissent, Ralph Young focuses on those who, from colonial days to the present, dissented against the ruling paradigm of their time, emphasizing how Americans responded to what they saw as the injustices that prevented them from fully experiencing their vision of America. some dissenters are celebrated heroes of American history, while others are common folk frequently overlooked but whose stories show that change is often accomplished through grassroots activism. The United Sates is a nation founded on the promise and power of dissent. In this stunningly comprehensive volume, Ralph Young shows us its history. This paperback edition offers anew preface that focuses on dissent and protest - including the Women's March - following the election of President Donald Trump." -- Publisher's description.
