Where I Came From

By: Michael Casey

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This memoir of the Casey family’s fate rises up from the coulees and frozen tundra of North Dakota during the Great Depression and The Dirty Thirties. Will the son, Michael, prevail over the stink and guts of slaughtering chickens, picking up cow pies for burning in the kitchen stove to can the chickens for winter food? There is child abuse from a teacher, Edna the Virgin, with a thick wooden ruler, a violent rape in a bunkhouse in the dark of night by a John Deere machinery salesman. His mother Margaret’s pathos comes from having to feed and care for too many children. Her Irish Catholic husband, Matt Casey, only a generation away from the Irish potato famine, supports his family with his wages as a janitor from the local public school in Parshall. Matt will not interfere with the cycle of fate by using birth control because it is a deadly mortal sin. He is a good man, drinks not a drop, but carries the curse of St. Patrick on his forehead. Michael becomes an altar boy and serves at an infant’s funeral on the bleak Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, where the mother’s keening for her baby still echoes in his developing conscience. The prairie wind howls, and he hopes there is a better way. Sisyphus never had it so good.

The Teacher Insurgency

A Strategic and Organizing Perspective

By: Leo Casey

In The Teacher Insurgency, Leo Casey addresses how the unexpected wave of recent teacher strikes has had a dramatic impact on American public education, teacher unions, and the larger labor movement. Casey explains how this uprising was not only born out of opposition to government policies that underfunded public schools and deprofessionalized teaching, but was also rooted in deep-seated changes in the economic climate, social movements, and, most importantly, educational politics. With an eye to maintaining the momentum of the insurgency, the author examines four key strategic questions that have arisen from the strikes: the relationship of mobilization to organizing; the relationship between protests and direct action; the conditions under which teacher strikes are most likely to be successful; and the importance of “bargaining for the common good.” More broadly, Casey examines how to organize teachers for collective action, focusing on four discourses of teaching: teaching as nurturance; as professionalism; as labor and craft; and as a vocation of democratic intellectual work.
