Manny Jalonschi

Ridgewood, Queens, NY

From AWOPRadio.com
"Over the past decade of journalism Manny Jalonschi has explored everything from the death of local business to gun culture in northern Lebanon. In that time, Manny has written hundreds of articles and columns about New York City, the prison system, the media, the death of working class culture and the self-destructive nature of American politics. When the New York Daily News featured Manny's work in 2008, writer Laura Silver noted "the Romanian-born, Ridgewood-raised writer has a global consciousness that surpasses most of his peers." In 2010, he authored the self-published, community-funded punk history book, Hustlers and the Idiot Swarm. This conversational history book illustrates the connections between billionaire-sponsored propaganda and the political views held by American right wingers—even at their own demise. ProHipHop.com called it "an important book for difficult times" and Jack Wade of the Working Family Radio Network called it a "must read." Currently, he is a regular columnist at PoliticusUSA."
