    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} WHO THE HELL IS STEW ALBERT by Stewart Edward Albert Stew Albert - Stew Albert. Stewart Edward "Stew" Albert (4. december 1939 - 30. januar 2006) var et tidligt medlem af Yippierne , en anti-Vietnamkrigspolitisk aktivist og en vigtig skikkelse i New Left- bevægelsen i 1960'erne. Født i Sheepshead Bay- sektionen i Brooklyn , New York, til en medarbejder i New York City , havde han et relativt konventionelt politisk liv i sin ungdom, skønt han var blandt dem, der protesterede mod henrettelsen af Caryl Chessman . Han dimitterede fra Pace University , hvor han studerede politik og filosofi og arbejdede et stykke tid for City of New York velfærdsafdeling. I 1965 forlod han New York til San Francisco , hvor han mødte digteren Allen Ginsberg i City Lights Bookstore . Inden for få dage var han frivillig i Vietnam Day Committee i Berkeley, Californien . Det var der, han mødte Jerry Rubin og Abbie Hoffman , med hvem han medstifter Youth International Party eller Yippies. Han mødte også Bobby Seale og andre Black Panther Party- medlemmer der og blev en politisk aktivist på fuld tid. Rubin sagde engang, at Albert var en bedre underviser end de fleste professorer. Blandt de mange aktiviteter, han deltog i med Yippierne, var at smide penge fra balkonen på New York Stock Exchange , Pentagon's eksorsisme og præsidentkampagnen fra 1968 af en gris ved navn Pigasus . Han blev arresteret ved forstyrrelserne uden for Den Demokratiske Nationale Konvention i 1968 og blev udnævnt som en uindikeret medsammensvorne i Chicago Seven- sagen. Hans kone, Judy Gumbo Albert, hævdede ifølge hans New York Times nekrolog, at dette var fordi han arbejdede som korrespondent for Berkeley Barb .

Searchlight South Africa is an independent Socialist journal focussed on Southern Africa, but mindful of the broader world context. Searchlight South Africa will offer analyses from a critical Marxist standpoint, and will open its pages to debate on the central issues affecting the country. There will be place for articles on political economy, politics, and history, and for literary criticism and book reviews. The editors have differing views on events inside South Africa, and this needs no apology. There is need for debate, and for informed discussion on the many problems that face South Africa. But whatever our differences we are agreed that the struggle in South Africa is for socialism, and that the working class will form the vanguard in the movement to transform the country. The struggle is against capital, and in leading the forces that must replace the existing system by a socialist democracy, the working class will remove the oppressive regime, colour discrimination and class exploitation.

Open access: Radical Americas is a peer-reviewed open access journal. Abstract This paper looks specifically at two influential newspapers of the American underground press during the 1960s. Using the Berkeley Barb and the San Francisco Oracle, the paper proposes two arguments: first, that the inability of the countercultural press to envisage real alternatives to sexuality and sex roles stifled any wider attempt within the countercultural movement to address concerns around gender relations; and second, the limitation of the ‘radical’ imagination invites us to question the extent to which these papers can be considered radical or countercultural.
