ISBN: 9780252067259.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Diapers is the\nfirst anthology of autobiographical writings by the children of American\ncommunists. These memoirs, short stories, and poems reflect the joys and\nperils of growing up in a subculture defined by its opposition to some\nof societys most deeply held values. How red diaper babies have come\nto terms with their political inheritance is the theme of this compelling\nanthology.\nSome contributors have fond\nmemories of family activism; others recall the past with ambivalence or\neven pain. The authors range in age from their twenties to their eighties.\nSome, such as Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein and sixties activist Bettina\nAptheker, are widely known themselves; some are the children of well-known\nAmerican leftists, including Jeff Lawson, son of blacklisted screenwriter\nJohn Howard Lawson, and Robert Meeropol, son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.\nIn disparate voices, the contributors elaborate on how their parents attempted\nto pass on to them the torch of radical politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952034902069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0252067258","price":58.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780252067259_74300a53-fa39-4182-8b91-4c2b86f950e8.jpg?v=1781387153","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/red-diapers-growing-up-in-the-communist-left-9780252067259","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
