  • American Revolutionary: the Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs a Film by Grace Lee Produced by Grace Lee, Caroline Libresco and Austin Wilkin
    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs A Film by Grace Lee Produced by Grace Lee, Caroline Libresco and Austin Wilkin www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKER I first met Grace Lee Boggs in 2000 while filming “The Grace Lee Project,” a documentary about the many women who share our common name and the model minority stereotype of Asian Americans. From the moment I met Boggs, I knew I would have to make a longer film just about her. Over the years, I would return to Detroit, hang out in her kitchen and living room and watch her hold in thrall everyone from journalists to renowned activists to high school students. I recognized the same thing in myself that I saw in all of them—eagerness to connect with someone who seemed to embody history itself. As someone who came of age in the era of identity politics, I would have found it hard to ignore the fascinating details of how this Chinese-American woman became a Black Power activist in Detroit. But Boggs would constantly use our interview sessions to turn the questions back on me. “What do you think about that? How do you feel about what's happening in Korea? Tell me more about your own story,” she would say as soon as the cameras turned off. My own identity is more wrapped up in Boggs’s story than she knows. And it’s not because we share the same name. Boggs’s presence—in Detroit, in the world and in my imagination—has helped transform my own thinking about how to tell a story about someone like her.

    LIBERATION FROM THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY: THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE THIRD WORLD LEFT IN POST-WAR AMERICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Benjamin Feldman, M.A. Washington, DC August 6, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Benjamin Feldman All Rights Reserved ii LIBERATION FROM THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY: THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE THIRD WORLD LEFT IN POST-WAR AMERICA Benjamin Feldman, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Michael Kazin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the full intellectual history of the Third World Turn: when theorists and activists in the United States began to look to liberation movements within the colonized and formerly colonized nations of the ‘Third World’ in search of models for political, social, and cultural transformation. I argue that, understood as a critique of the limits of New Deal liberalism rather than just as an offshoot of New Left radicalism, Third Worldism must be placed at the center of the history of the post-war American Left. Rooting the Third World Turn in the work of theorists active in the 1940s, including the economists Paul Sweezy and Paul Baran, the writer Harold Cruse, and the Detroit organizers James and Grace Lee Boggs, my work moves beyond simple binaries of violence vs. non-violence, revolution vs. reform, and utopianism vs. realism, while throwing the political development of groups like the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, and the Third World Women’s Alliance into sharper relief.

  • Grace Lee Boggs: Celebrated Civil Rights Activist
    Grace Lee Boggs: Celebrated Civil Rights Activist Grace Lee Boggs was a celebrated civil rights activist, author, philosopher, and feminist. She was a fearless champion of anti-racism and was a leader of several marxist and revolutionary Anti-Stalinists communist splinter groups. She believed that women needed to be treated and judged by the same standards as men. Her family operated a restaurant on Broadway in Manhattan called Chin Lee’s. Eventually, her father opened a second establishment named Chin’s. She went to Barnard College when she was 16 and became fascinated by the works of G.W.F. Hegel and Immanual Kant. In 1940, she graduated from Bryn Mawr where she received a PhD in Philosophy. Boggs lived between Chicago and New York in her youth and then later moved to Detroit in the late 1940s. Despite having a PhD, Boggs was unable to find employment in the United States due to anti-Asian sentiment. Eventually, she found work at the University of Chicago Philosophy Library, making $10 a week, and lived in a basement apartment. Her experiences living in the squalid, rat-infested building led her to join her fellow tenants — most of whom were black — in protests for better living conditions. Through her new friends, she became involved in A. Philip Randolph’s work organizing a march on Washington for jobs. When she saw the result — President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 802 banning discrimination in defense plants — she realized the power of the people. While living in both Chicago and New York, she joined the Workers Party (WP), a Troskyite political party that opposed the Soviet Union and which was committed to Socialist Revolution.

    Copyright by Stephen Michael Ward 2002 The Dissertation Committee for Stephen Michael Ward Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “Ours Too Was a Struggle for a Better World”: Activist Intellectuals and the Radical Promise of the Black Power Movement, 1962-1972 Committee: Toyin Falola, Supervisor Juliet Walker James Sidbury David Montejano Edmund T. Gordon “Ours Too Was a Struggle for a Better World”: Activist Intellectuals and the Radical Promise of the Black Power Movement, 1962-1972 by Stephen Michael Ward, M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2002 For my parents, Cheryl June Ward and Michael Harold Ward, who each in their own special way, taught me the value and joy of learning and To the memory of my Grandmothers, June Ellen Springs Ward, Mary Howe Granberry, and June Fisher White, who did so much—more, in fact, than I will ever know—to make sure that I received a good education, in school as well as in life. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is a pleasant irony in writing this acknowledgement page: though it is a formality which seemingly bears no relation to the researching and writing of the dissertation, I find it to be, in a profound sense, the most rewarding part of this project. This is the case, in part, because this page is one of the final tasks which mark the completion of the dissertation writing process.
