Summary

• "Meditations on activism following the turbulent 1960s--back in print. After the Detroit Rebellion of 1967, James and Grace Lee Boggs decided they should rethink what activism looks like. Pairing with trusted veteran activists Freddy and Lyman Paine, they ruminated on central questions emerging from their politics and activism, and they discussed the purpose and responsibilities human beings share for the future. The recorded dialogue among these four friends invites readers to consider the fundamentals of activism with tough, thought-provoking questions. Their conversations at the Paines' home on Sutton Island, Maine, not only function as political act but also present unsettling truths and develop connections between philosophy, music, art, gender difference, family structure, Marxism, and more. Conversations in Maine is a call to all citizens to work together and think deeply about the kind of future we can create"--
• "Conversations in Maine was originally published by South End Press in 1978. The book is a set of dialogues between Grace Lee and Jimmy Boggs, and Lyman and Freddy Paine, and took place at the Paine's summer house in Sutton Island, Maine"--
