Now a high school teacher in New York City, Monchinski, assembles papers by his former teacher Gerassi (political science, City U. of New York-Queens College), and intersperses them with interviews introducing each of the three sections on the political animal, unrepentant critical pedagogy, and the politics of the word and the world. The topics include when the war is over, leftists you never talk to, where is Che, the ideal syllabus, the US empire and the death of democracy, revolution by lifestyle, murder incorporated, an open letter to Europeans, and the end of our constitution.
