Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young: My Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground

「一段迷人的旅程，以往往啟發思考的方式，闡明了激進運動中的暴力政治。」——安潔拉．戴維斯（Angela Davis）

FBI 頭號通緝要犯之子，講述了一個在逃亡中度過的童年故事，以及美國半個世紀革命鬥爭中令人振奮且心碎的經歷。

我們都在與定義自己的過去搏鬥：文化、宗教、家族故事。但當你繼承的是一場革命時，會發生什麼事？

柴德．艾爾斯．多恩（Zayd Ayers Dohrn）出生於地下狀態。他的父母在與美國政府對抗十年後成為逃犯；他的母親共同創立了名為「氣象員」的左翼激進組織，並取代安潔拉．戴維斯登上了 FBI 的十大通緝犯名單。多恩的父母終其一生都說他的出生標誌著與暴力革命鬥爭的徹底切割，但在這部具爆炸性的回憶錄中，他發現那個故事並非全然屬實。

作為個人與社會史的傑作，《危險、骯髒、暴力且年輕》（Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young）對一個聲名狼藉的家庭及其躲藏生活，以及 60 和 70 年代的政治鬥爭進行了扣人心弦的記述。它的核心提出了重大問題：當孩子感到最安全的地方——與家人在一起——同時也將他們置於危險之中時，孩子該如何生存？成為一名好的革命家意味著什麼？而今天的年輕人又該如何嘗試改變世界？

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis

The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying, heart-rending story of a childhood on the run – and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America

We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution?

Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn’s parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn’t entirely true.

A masterpiece of personal and social history, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the ‘60s and ‘70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest – with their family – also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?
