In this lively 400-year history, kids will read about Peter Stuyvesant and the enterprising Dutch colonists, follow the spirited patriots as they rebel against the British during the American Revolution, learn about the crimes of the infamous Tweed Ring, journey through the notorious Five Points slum with its tenements and street vendors, and soar to new heights with the Empire State Building and New York City's other amazing skyscrapers. Along the way, they'll stop at Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and many other prominent New York landmarks. With informative and fun activities, such as painting a Dutch fireplace tile or playing a game of stickball, this valuable resource includes a time line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and web resources for further study, helping young learners gain a better understanding of the Big Apple's culture, politics, and geography.

Sadly, the weakest chapter is the one on apocalyptic cultural production. It is narrowly focused on zombies (a fun and fruitful topic however) – but apocalyptic symbols and narratives are a much broader and deeper part of our cultural inheritance, and they resonate far more on a mythic level of understanding than on an historical or political one. Left rationalism would like to see myth defanged by reducing it to history (the chapter’s author quotes Walter Benjamin to that effect) but mythic consciousness is irreducible to historical consciousness because the conception of time is fundamentally different. The left idea that class-conscious rationalism alone is sufficient to nullify deep-seated supra-rational (joyful, transcendental, as well as terrible) elements of human experience is a weakness of much theory, and needs to be reconsidered.
