5.0 out of 5 stars A Leader of the Class Struggle, February 12, 2012 By  kjs - See all my reviews This review is from: Holy Cross Class of '72 Ex-Man (Paperback) This book was inspiring. I no longer have the book because a friend of mine wanted to read it as soon as he could. He wants to pass this book on to his son. Ex Man tells the story of a young working class Black man, who goes to school in the 1960s. He becomes an organizer against racism and war. Like so many young people in the 1960s from all over the world, he becomes aware that we have to take a stand and fight back against capitalism. This book is timely.We are once again living through social and political upheaval. College students, workers, unemployed people, homeless people and soldiers are beginning to see that another world is possible. This book is an inspiration for all of us who want to build an egalitarian society. It was well written, I felt as if the author were sitting at my kitchen table urging me not to give up the fight against the racism and the ruling class!

An excellent story of the life and times of a young black man in America. Although you won't see Gordon Davis in any history books there is no denying the impact he has had on the American activist community. I have had the pleasure to know the man personally and my respect for him has only deepened after reading his book. I would recommended this to anyone that would like to know more about Worcester, late 60's radicalism, or left libertarian ideologies.

Davis was part of the famous freshman class at Holy Cross College that included Clarence Thomas.
In this engaging little memoir Davis sheds bright light on the personal and political
upheavals of the time and the development of his own lifetime commitment to social justice struggles.
