Amber A'Lee Frost came to New York City from her home state of Indiana as a working-class activist (and member of then-unknown Cold War hold-out Democratic Socialists of America) just before the first major movement for economic justice of the millennium, Occupy Wall Street. Of course, Occupy went bust, then Bernie Sanders went boom, and she threw herself into the campaign with everything she had. Frost has been one of the foremost evangelists of labor and socialist politics eve since, as a writer, activist, former staff and lifetime member of DSA, and cohost of the wildly popular Chapo Trap House podcast.
Dirtbag is a much-anticipated debut from one of the most engaging and insightful writers of her generation. This book is more than a political memoir; it is a chapter in the story of the only movement that has a chance to reshape our world into something better. It captures an electric time of thrilling triumphs, stupid decisions, friendship and rivalries new and old, struggles, joys, setbacks, and heartbreaks, all with magnetic prose, remarkable candor, and unflappable humor.
Throughout it all, Frost burned the candle at both ends, relentlessly campaigning for socialism and the labor movement, from the American Midwest tot he British rust belt, and rallying the troops with her brother-in-arms as a self-described propagandist for the glorious cause of the workers' movement (and somehow, always finding moments for plenty of reckless adventuring). The time was brutal calamity of work and play, with all of the late nights, hard fights, and joyous camaraderie, powered by the hope and the faith that maybe, somehow, this time, socialism could actually win.
