Ministers in Oklahoma preached the gospel of “Christian socialism” at revival-style gatherings come summertime. Jewish garment workers on New York City's Lower East Side flocked to the red banner. The leader of this vibrant movement was a railroader from Indiana named Eugene V. Debs.Part working-class agitator, part radical prophet, Debs inspired ordinary workers during the Gilded Age to fight back against the power of the rich and received a million votes when he ran for president from behind bars. Rousing, poignant, and intimately human, American Socialist is a story that speaks powerfully to our own Gilded Age — when the ultra-rich again rule America’s political and economic life and millions are looking for an alternative.Author and former Jacobin editor Shawn Gude will discuss his new book with Jacobin editor Micah Uetricht before an audience Q&A and book signing.Please note: Attendance is free, but RSVP is required.
