Download Rebel Mother: My Childhood Chasing the Revolution AudioBook Free
Carol Andreas was a traditional 1950s housewife from a small Mennonite town in central Kansas who became a radical feminist and Marxist revolutionary. From the late sixties to the early eighties, she went through multiple husbands and many lovers while residing in three states and five countries. She had taken her youngest boy, Peter, with her wherever she proceeded to go, even kidnapping him and jogging off to South America after his straitlaced dad won a long and bitter custody fight. They were chasing after the revolution jointly, though the more they chased it a lot more faraway it became. They battled the bad "isms" (sexism, imperialism, capitalism, fascism, consumerism), and fought for the good "isms" (feminism, socialism, communism, egalitarianism). They were constantly jogging, moving, hiding. Between the age groups of five and 11, Peter went to greater than a dozen schools and lived in greater than a dozen homes, moving from the suburbs of Detroit to a hippie commune in Berkeley to a socialist collective plantation in Chile to highland villages and seaside shantytowns in Peru. If they secretly returned to America they resolved down clandestinely in Denver, where his mom changed her name to cover from his dad.
