New York: Monthly Review Press, 2000. Paperback. xiii, 609 p.: 19 in-text and full-page illustrations; 23 cm. Paperback with color illustrated front cover. Includes notes and index. "Uncorrected Page Proofs" at head of front cover. "Peasants, religious heretics, witches, pirates, runaway slaves, prostitutes and pornographers, frequenters of taverns and fraternal society lodge rooms, revolutionaries, blues and jazz musicians, beats, and contemporary youth gangs--those who defied authority, choosing to live outside the defining cultural dominions of early insurgent and, later, dominant capitalism are what Bryan D. Palmer calls people of the night. These lives of opposition, or otherness, were viewed by the powerful as deviant, rejecting authority, and consequently threatening to the established order."
