Publisher's Synopsis
This compelling memoir speaks directly to today's political activists. By interweaving struggles against discrimination, racism and war, and against the world of patriarchy, corporate power, and US imperialism with her own background of emotionally abusive experiences, Mary Wentworth shows readers that the personal cannnot be separated from the political. Whether inside a prison in New Hampshire or inside a political campaign, Wentworth describes the action in detail. With its incisive analysis, Discovering America: A Political Journey is an enduring record of the past and a must read for those who want to understand the crises of the present.
