| Summary | "The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest" edited by Upton Sinclair is a collection of literary works spanning many genres, written in the early 20th century. The anthology features writings from philosophers, poets, novelists, and social reformers who advocate against social injustice, reflecting the struggles of humanity across various cultures and time periods. The central theme revolves around the outcry for justice in the face of systemic oppression and the plight of the working class throughout history. The opening of the anthology establishes a foundational context by introducing the concept of social protest through a powerful dedication and a profound introduction by Jack London. Sinclair, in the preface, underscores the significance of unifying voices from different times and places to address issues of inequality, exploitation, and the human condition. He emphasizes that the collection seeks to uplift those who have labored under the weight of injustice, illustrating the hardship faced by the oppressed while simultaneously offering their cries for change and hope for a better world. This anthology serves as both a historical account of social dissent and a rallying cry for future action in the pursuit of equity and understanding among all people.
