"…[a] terrific book … A scholarly study, the book is also replete with anecdotes that make it not only intellectually satisfying, but engaging in ways usually reserved for popular biographies … [it] is an important book that will continue to greatly benefit its readers, especially those interested in the intersection of radical and electoral politics, but also those interested in New York City's political history." — Science & Society"Provides fresh revelations about the nature of Marcantonio's support in the Italian-American and Puerto Rican communities, and is most insightful, historically and ethnographically. It gets to the heart of 'pre-political' issues, seen through the optic of culture. It makes a fresh contribution to the history of radicalism, as well as to ethnic history and the history of New York City." — Paul Buhle, Director, Oral History of the American Left, Tamiment Library, New York University
