"[A] marvelous book. Moving, fearful, and funny, Hudson and Painter’s
Narrative
is as valuable an American life as has ever been wrested from anonymity." —Benita Eisler,
The Nation
Born into a Georgia sharecropper family in 1898, Hosea Hudson moved to Birmingham, Alabama, to work in the steel mills in the turbulent 1930s and 1940s and became a member of the Communist Party as well as president of a CIO union local. It was a hard, dangerous life, to be Black and communist and pro-union, and Hudson talked about that life to Nell Painter, who brilliantly recreates it in this collaborative oral autobiography.
