The Ignorant Perfection of Ordinary People (Suny Series in Constructive Postmodern Thought) by Robert Inchausti

Heavy with political-philosophical jargon, Inchausti's book still manages to capture the struggle and inspiration of six social revolutionaries. He gives any idealist of a "common humanity" something to think about.
