  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

    Radical Teacher 102 Teaching About Climate Change MAN EATING TREES COURTESY OF JOHN SOKOL ISSN: 1941-0832 In Memoriam: Pepi Leistyna by Editorial Board 1963-2015 RADICAL TEACHER 1 http://radicalteacher.library.pitt.edu No. 102 (Summer 2015) DOI 10.5195/rt.2015.213 ~ Remembering Pepi Leistyna ~ We mourn our Radical Teacher colleague, beloved educator, admired scholar and friend, Pepi Leistyna. Pepi’s work and passionate commitment to progressive politics are our cherished legacy, joined with many others. Pepi’s students’ blog comments regarding news of his death are heartfelt in their grief but also in love and admiration for him—for his compassion, wisdom, vast knowledge, and wit. The passion which fed his teaching also nourished his writing, lectures, his film Class Dismissed: How TV Frames the Working Class, which won the Studs Terkel Award for Media and Journalism (2007), and his winning the Peace Maker Award for photography in Palestine (2013). Teaching, researching, and activism were all of a piece for Pepi. He was a founding member of the International Institute for Critical Pedagogy and Transformative Leadership, and published widely, including the books Breaking Free: The Transformative Power of Critical Pedagogy, Presence of Mind: Education and the Politics of Deception, Cultural Studies: From Theory to Action. Pepi brought to Radical Teacher the same unflagging energy and commitment to social justice that inspired all he did. Among other things he compiled for Radical Teacher an excellent filmography on social class (RT 81) and he co-edited the cluster “Teaching Post-Colonial Literatures in the Age of Empire” (RT 82).

  • Reading the Autobiography of American Communism*
    IRSH 53 (2008), pp. 395–423 doi:10.1017/S0020859008003532 r 2008 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Was the Personal Political? Reading the Autobiography of American Communism* J AMES R. BARRETT SUMMARY: Taking the communist memoir as a sub-genre of working-class autobiography, the article analyzes, first, the characteristics of the communist autobiography, the conditions under which such works were produced, and their intended functions. Second, the article considers some personal dimensions of American communist history and how this more subjective side of the history relates to the more familiar political narrative of the movement. Recent feminist and other theory of autobiography are employed to analyze approximately forty communist autobiographies and other personal narrative material to analyze personal love and marriage, child rearing and family life, and self-identity within the party. INTRODUCTION Amid calls for global approaches to the study of history, some labor historians have turned to the more personal dimensions of working-class life through the study of biography and autobiography. While an emphasis on social process, collective experience, and material conditions has largely defined social history for a generation, recent theory, the decline of the labor movement, and political transformations have encouraged some to consider the more subjective aspects of working peoples’ lives. At the same time, the history of American communism has enjoyed a renaissance, with a new generation of anti-communist scholars
