Acerca de este título
 This memoir of a "red-diaper baby" starts with the unlikely union of my Mom--privileged daughter of Wall Street banker Walter Sachs (of Goldman Sachs fame) and Dad--son of working class second generation Jewish immigrants. Mom and Dad fall in love at Harvard amidst Communist activism in the heady times leading up to WWII. Dad gets his dream job of professor of physiology at Tulane in 1948 and the family moves to New Orleans. But the happy times come to a crashing halt when the McCarthy witch hunts for Communists causes the Tulane administration to fire Dad and then the blacklist ensues so that Dad is unemployable. In 1954, the whole family, which now includes me at age four, move to the People's Republic of China, a new China that was created in 1949 via the victory of the Chinese Communist Party in the civil war. For five glorious years, until 1959, I thrive in a society intent on building equality for all. Returning to the US I enter fourth grade in the New York public school in my neighborhood and my mouth finds the business end of a classmates fist—the first sucker punch of my life. I march onward, with the help of a kind of assigned bodyguard, Clifford, until I graduate from sixth grade and then onto the leftist private school Little Red School House/Elizabeth Erwin for seventh and eighth grades... After two stormy years in the student movement at Penn and City College of New York, I drop out (that’s Chapter 13—How I Became a College Dropout in 1969), my story goes onto the factory floor of GE in Lynn, Massachusetts where I worked for 17 years, fomenting militant and class conscious trade unionism as best I could... In 1988 I resign from the company and continue being an activist in the job of a union organizer and union rep. until I retire in 2010. Racism and the battle against it is a theme throughout this book. If you're wanting to hear about mental health issues, I've got that covered too because I've had an (un)healthy taste of it for many years.©2022 Peter Hodes (P)2026 Peter Hodes Activistas Política y activismo
