On his current projects: Right now I’m working on the second edition of a book I edited called The Quotable Rebel: Political Quotations for Dangerous Times
(Common Courage Press, 2005). It’s a reference collection of 3,000
quotations from social change movements world-wide and throughout
history. The book is organized into 150 sub-topics and covers a very
wide variety of subjects and people, from well known figures like
Malcolm X and Gandhi to locally-based grassroots activists and artists.
I donate the royalties to support progressive social causes, most
recently via the Bread and Roses Community Fund. I’m a Ph.D. student in
History at the University of California, Irvine, so I’ve spent the
summer doing research on the relationship between the American Left and
Cuba. I’m also a Humanities Facilitator for Scribe Video Center’s
Precious Places Community History Project, a documentary video program
that works with Philadelphia community organizations to create digital
histories of their neighborhoods.
