创造历史/创造闪电：两个红色尿布宝宝如何找到彼此并发现美国

《创造历史/制造闪电战》是一部关于进步活动人士理查德（迪克）和米里亚姆（米奇）弗莱克的政治和个人生活的编年史，他们是民主社会学生会（SDS）的两位创始人。作为20世纪60年代民权运动和反越战运动的积极成员，以及当今社会运动的领导者，他们的故事是对20世纪60年代至今美国进步运动的第一手描述。
在这本回忆录中，这对夫妇证明了他们一生致力于通过社会活动创造历史，如果不回到他们的家庭历史中的深刻个人背景，就无法理解他们在20世纪50年代在纽约市长大的“红色尿布婴儿”，在20世纪60年代青少年时期，他们用民间音乐作为自我表达，以及在20世纪70年代和80年代为自己的家庭制作闪电游戏。作为移民和第一代犹太人的子女，迪克和米奇塑造了自己作为世俗犹太人的宗教身份，通过SDS为美国进步主义活动创造了关键空间，最终发现自己养育了一个“美国”家庭。

Making History / Making Blintzes: How Two Red Diaper Babies Found Each Other and Discovered America
Making History/Making Blintzes is a chronicle of the political and personal lives of progressive activists Richard (Dick) and Miriam (Mickey) Flacks, two of the founders of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

Throughout this memoir, the couple demonstrates that their lifelong commitment to making history through social activism cannot be understood without returning to the deeply personal context of their family history—of growing up “Red Diaper babies” in 1950s New York City, using folk music as self-expression as adolescents in the 1960s, and of making blintzes for their own family through the 1970s and 1980s. As the children of immigrants and first generation Jews, Dick and Mickey crafted their own religious identity as secular Jews, created a critical space for American progressive activism through SDS, and ultimately, found themselves raising an “American” family.
