Life and Death Spiral of US History: From Deganawidah to The Donald
23 June 18
“lively, engaging, original, zany, psychedelic, feisty, opinionated…”– Eric Foner
IFE & DEATH SPIRAL is the first total bottom-up re-write of US history since Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the US (published in 1980: 2 million sold).
Howard graciously introduced my first History of the US in 1972 (30,000 sold).
I now host two radio shows, co-wrote the Grammy-winning Solartopia with Pete Seeger, helped coin “No Nukes,” spoke at Woodstock 2, co-/wrote twenty books and many viral screeds. I’ve joyously embraced civil rights, social justice, radical journalism, organic farming, No Nukes, Solartopia, election protection, psychedelic exploration, and a whole new way of thinking.
SPIRAL is a factual, proudly opinionated 300-page easily understood howl about our organic life story, from the Indigenous to the immediate, for popular/activist/academic readers.
It totally shreds the standard approach to our national story.
Unlike any mainstream history, it:
Fully credits Indigenous America for our feminist DNA, Revolution, Constitution, Bill of Rights
Links our embryonic conception to the rape of our Indigenous matriarchy by Puritan patriarchs
Portrays our evolution as the back/forth, yin/yang war between our masculine/feminine DNA
Organizes our history through 1992 into six shortening cycles, which form a spiral
Makes those natural rhythms of our historic interplay easy to understand and remember
In synch with our matriarchal/Indigenous DNA, the cycles rhyme with the seasons of the year.
In synch with our patriarchal/Puritan DNA, the spiral rises up a linear axis to the Trumpocalypse.
SPIRAL grows from conception (1688), birth (1776), “Manifest Adolescence” (1828-1896), “Bully Manhood” (1896-1932), “Peak Adulthood” (1932-1960), “Mid-life Crisis” (1960-1976) and “Imperial Senility” (1976-1992) to the brain-dead imperial coma of our deceased democracy.
This book is meant to righteously and clearly rewrite how our national story is seen, taught, and through the enduring magic of citizen activism … made whole.
