Revolution in the Air: Sixties Radicals Turn to Lenin, Mao and CheVerso, 2002 - 370 pages Taking issue with the idea of a division between an early good sixties and a later bad sixties, Max Elbaum is particularly concerned to reclaim the lessons of the new communist movement for today's activists who, like their sixties' predecessors, are coming of age at a time when the Left lacks mass support and is fragmented along racial lines. Max Elbaum has given us an incisive and critical history of the Other New Left the radicals who brought class struggle and Third World liberation to the forefront, looked to the world for allies, and tried their best to work through the dynamics of race and class. If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics, then open these pages and dig. -- Robin D.G. Kelley. [pub. desc.]. |
