Synopsis
In this revealing memoir about his youth in rural Connecticut, activist Ralph Nader recalls the simple life of a time now past, and identifies seventeen basic principles that shaped his character and which stayed with him through his public and private life. THE SEVENTEEN TRADITIONS is an inspiring work that traces the roots of Nader's politics in his family and community., Nader is known for his lifetime of progressive activism and fearless critique of corruption in American politics and society. Here, he takes a look backward--at a serene and enriching childhood spent in bucolic Winsted, Connecticut, and at the traditions he absorbed within his family. From listening to learning, from patriotism to argument, from work to simple enjoyment, Nader revisits seventeen traditions he learned from his parents, his siblings, and the people in his community, and draws from them lessons for today's society.--From publisher description.
