The Narrative of Hosea Hudson: The Life and Times of a Black Radical

Front Cover
"Among the many exemplary qualities of this narrative and its hero is their lack of sentimentality. For Hosea Hudson, there is no romance of American Communism; instead, his relationship with the Communist Party is a model of mutual exploitation. . . . [A] marvelous book. Moving, fearful, and funny, Hudson and Painter's Narrative is as valuable an American life as has ever been wrested from anonymity." --Benita Eisler, The Nation
