These are mostly young voices, fleeing to San Francisco along with a hundred Armies of the Night . . . that keep the city still crazy after all these years.” Richard Walker, author of The Conquest of Bread, and professor of geography, UC Berkeley. 08 “The spirit of democracy is alive and well, and thrives in the people of San Francisco as they fight the expropriators who have run their city for a century and a half . . . Chris Carlsson has put together a vibrant snapshot of that spirit.” Chris Clark, editor of Faultline 04 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100341720/images/87286100341720L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100341720/images/87286100341720S.jpg http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100341720 City Lights Foundation Books 01 City Lights Foundation Books 20050401 01 8.5 in 02 5.5 in 08 16 oz City Lights Books 01 WORLD 20 20050401 01 02 17.95 USD
