Radical Pamphlets Hear and Now
Radical Pamphlets Hear and Now is an audio production of the New Perennials project at Middlebury College. For centuries pamphlets were utilized to demand reform, equality, and justice. Our pamphlets are rooted in the local, and written by teachers, farmers, students, artists, community caretakers, and neighbors. They offer common sense and practical advice to slow down and attend to the here and now wherever you are.
