GUNS UNDER THE BED: Memories of a Young Revolutionary/is a book, in
reality, far more contemporary than what it looks. On the cover, a
black-and-white photograph shows a group of young people with long hair
strapped by headbands, flannels, and loose clothes, carrying tambours,
whistles, and signs of protest. On the front, a young woman//—//the
author, Jody A. Forrester//—//embodies the spirit of the original
hippies, the opponents of the Vietnam War and the US government’s
policies at the time. The story narrates Forrester//’//s journey, the
spiral of events that led her into joining//—//and also eventually
leaving//—//the Revolutionary Union, a communist organization that
followed Mao Zedong’s ideology of class war. But from the outset, the
reader may identify what feels like common threads between that story
and our present, one where people are resorting once again to taking up
the street to demand social justice. It is clear how history repeats
itself./
