Agitprop is the memoir of a Washington State maritime and steel worker who was a longtime activist in the American Federation of Labor, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and the Communist Party. Born to a Massachusetts working class socialist family, Dennett is an idealist who sought to unify theoretical principle, policy, and practice in his daily life. His life story embodies broader themes that make this book an allegorical depiction of one man's journey through 20th century working-class America.

"Dennett's autobiography is one of the very few we have from regional left-wing Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) leaders who possessed their own mass bases. Dennett was barely thirty years old in 1938, when he was elected the founding executive secretary of the Washington State CIO Council. His candid personal history of Pacific Northwest labor and left-wing organizing is full of the texture, immediacy and complexity of the grassroots working-class left." p. ix. Seller Inventory # 47757
