Author: Mark Derby
Title: Ragnar Redbeard: the Antipodean Origins of the Radical Fabulist Arthur Desmond
Description: Steele Roberts Paperback, 68pp. â€oeMark Derby does justice to the spectacularly farflung radical and reactionary lives and the larger still legends of Arthur Desmond in the only way possible. He gives us a settler capable of siding with indigenous people and a muckraker on fire against wealth and privilege. But he equally shows a man, and eventually a persona, best known for his worst words, whose self-promotions and transnational bigotry remained connected to former commitments while tragically betraying them. This is a thoroughly engaging work of historical detection and discernment.â€� — David Roediger, Professor of American Studies and History, University of Kansas. (ISBN: 9780947493523). Mint.
