✦ Synopsis


An essential compendium of reflections on the reviled, glorious, and voltaic occasion of May 1st, the international May Day holiday
May 1st is a day that once made the rich and powerful cower in fear and caused Parliament to ban the Maypoleβ€”a magnificent and riotous day of rebirth, renewal, and refusal. This book’s reflections on the Red and the Greenβ€”out of which arguably the only hope for the future liesβ€”are populated by the likes of Native American anarchocommunist Lucy Parsons, the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement, Karl Marx, JosΓ© MartΓ­, W. E. B. Du Bois, Rosa Luxemburg, SNCC, and countless others, both sentient and verdant. The book is a forceful reminder of the potentialities of the future, for the coming of a time when the powerful will fall, the commons restored, and a better world born anew.
