Woody Guthrie, American Radical (Music in American Life)
 "Drawing on previously unseen letters, song lyrics, essays, and interviews with family and friends, Kaufman traces Guthrie's involvement in the workers' movement and his development of protest songs.  He portrays Guthrie as a committed and flawed human immersed in political complexity and harrowing personal struggle."--Library Journal "Kaufman is an excellent guide to a tradition buried under a multi-decade propaganda campaign that buried the stories of rural and radical America."--PopMatters"A fascinating look at Woody Guthrie's politics."--MOJO"A vital contribution ... because of the radical inspiration it ministers during a darkly troubling time in US history when a resolute enflaming of the spirits of resistance and rebellion is urgently needed."--ZCommunications "Overdue rediscovery of folk music’s great agitator."--Kirkus Reviews "America, where the gap between the haves and the have-nots grow increasingly wide, Woody Guthrie, warts and all, seems more important than ever."--Nashville Scene
