Rice A provocative and most complete anthology of writings by those the editor defines as pamphleteers—people who write not for monetary gain but to argue, cajole, agitate, and propagandize for social change. Well-known names like Angela Davis, people you will never have heard of; white racists, black racists; supporters and opponents of sex education and drugs; arch-conservatives, radicals; new, old, good, and bad ideas—all are here. As the editor writes: “Virtually all the organizations and individuals represented here won’t like at least half of the company they are keeping.” All need to be read for they symbolize aspects of the struggle for men’s minds.
