AK Press is having a sale

by

Neil Postman once noted the insanity of a country that uses its days of remembrance and patriotism to sell refrigerators. It’s a tradition that’s honorably mocked by AK Press, which is having a “Fuck the Fourth Sale.” (“Our biggest ever!”) Radical shoppers are encouraged to browse a bit: AK carries a rich selection of books about American history, focusing especially on the kind of history they don’t teach in schools.

 

Kelly Burdick is the executive editor of Melville House.
