Like a great party where you are surprised to run into people from a completely different circle of friends than the ones who invited you, Freedom Dreams briefly introduces organizations and activists, explaining why you would want to get to know them better, and then dishes enough dirt to keep the chatter bubbling. There were a lot of names and acronyms I've come across before but this is the first time I've seen some of these groups really examined, like RAM for instance, or Flo Kennedy. Of course the wildest stuff in here is the chapter on Surrealism. I am very thankful for this book.
