  • Playlist in 1969, Yale University Admitted Its First Women Undergraduates, Thus Ending 268 Years As an All-Male College
    YALE NEEDS WOMEN Playlist In 1969, Yale University admitted its first women undergraduates, thus ending 268 years as an all-male college. Yale Needs Women (Sourcebooks, 2019) tells their story. Here is the playlist to go with it: 22 songs released between 1969 and 1972, plus a two-song prelude from 1967. A quick scan will show that male performers outnumber women on this playlist, perhaps an odd choice given the Yale Needs Women title. It’s a reflection of the times, however. The music industry needed women too. You can find this playlist on Spotify. Search anne.g.perkins, or use this link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4aXLc1veNkKCMqCWd0biKE To find out more about Yale Needs Women and the first women undergraduates at Yale, go to yaleneedswomen.com. Many thanks to Rick High, Lily and Mac Perkins-High, and David and Ginger Kendall for their help in creating this playlist. Sources for the liner notes below are at the end. PRELUDE: 1967 1. Aretha Franklin, RESPECT. Aretha Franklin was the first woman ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and “Respect” was her first song to hit #1. She was twenty-five years old, six years into an abusive marriage that she would end in 1969, a black woman in a nation where that status meant double discrimination. “All I’m askin’ is for a little respect.” 2. Country Joe and The Fish, I-FEEL-LIKE-I’M-FIXIN’-TO-DIE RAG. Released in November 1967, the I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag became one of the country’s most popular Vietnam War protest songs, particularly after its performance at Woodstock in August 1969.

  • DRAWING the COLOR LINE, by Howard Zinn
    "Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress" - Chapter 1 from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States : 1492 - Present, Revised and Updated Edition, (New York: HarperCollins, 1995) - by permission Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He later wrote of this in his log: They...brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned...They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features....They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane...They would make fine servants....With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. These Arawaks of the Bahama Islands were much like Indians on the mainland, who were remarkable (European observers were to say again and again) for their hospitality, their belief in sharing. These traits did not stand out in the Europe of the Renaissance, dominated as it was by the religion of popes, the government of kings, the frenzy for money that maked Western civilization and its first messenger to the Americas, Christopher Columbus.

  • A Critical Review of Jeremy Brecher's Strike!
    Summary: The new expanded edition of Brecher’s Strike! is a monumental contribution to labor history. This review discusses the book’s revolutionary qualities, while also questioning its treatment of the IWW and most importantly, of the intersectionality of race and class - Editors A Critical Review of Jeremy Brecher’s Strike! Dale Heckerman May 28, 2016 In the field of radical labor history, Jeremy Brecher’s Strike! is held in high esteem by fellow leftists and labor historians and is considered one of the standard go-to reference books for anyone aspiring to learn labor history. I agree that this book is a must-read source of information on labor’s struggles in the United States during the period from 1877 to today. I believe that Jeremy Brecher genuinely cares about the plight of the working class as he painstakingly details numerous labor actions over the past, nearly one-hundred-forty years of labor history. I learned a lot from this book and it would be very difficult to sum up all the various strikes and labor actions he covers. I recommend that everyone read it for the wealth of information and insight this book contains. We learn a lot from Brecher concerning the creativity and co-operation between workers that has been hidden from “conventional” history. A critical examination of the history of unions and union leaders is taken up, as well, which ranges from the heroic, e.g., Mary Harris Jones (Mother Jones), to the development of parasitic business unionism. Brecher begins his book by briefly discussing the fact that strikes occurred during the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt and that strikes had occurred International Marxist-Humanist Organization Email: [email protected] Web: www.internationalmarxisthumanist.org as early as 1636 in North America, where the strikers were prosecuted as illegal conspirators.

  • Resisting Neoliberal Globalization: Coalition Building Between
    RESISTING NEOLIBERAL GLOBALIZATION: COALITION BUILDING BETWEEN ANTI-GLOBALIZATION ACTIVISTS IN NORTHWEST OHIO Kendel A. Kissinger A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2005 Committee: Rekha Mirchandani, Advisor Philip Terrie ii ABSTRACT Rekha Mirchandani, Advisor Few scholars have attempted to document the nature of coalition building within the antiglobalization movement, and this study is an attempt to analyze part of this complex and important social movement. This study is a synopsis of Northwest Ohio’s anti-globalization movement and concentrates on the nature of alliances across movements and the numerous dilemmas they encounter. The major assumption of this project is that neoliberalism dominates the globalization process through the policies and practices of various governance institutions and that the anti-globalization movement arose as a counter-movement in response to neoliberal changes. Based on thirteen interviews conducted within Northwest Ohio’s activist community, this study is a qualitative research project that explores the motivations of labor, peace, farm worker, environmental, and anarchist activists, their concerns about the nature of globalization, and their experiences with cross-movement alliance building. The objective of this study is, first, to provide some historical context on globalization, political and economic thought, coalition building, anti-globalization’s antecedent movements and the broader national and international movement; second, to explain how and why various social movements in Northwest Ohio became part of the anti-globalization movement and identify the problematic issues of cross-movement alliances. The study begins with a review of literature on coalitional movements, anti-globalization activism, and the antecedent movements of Northwest Ohio’s anti-globalization movement.

    iii Acknowledgements Brecht somewhere remarks that “the formation of intellectuals is a long and difficult process, and sorely tries the patience of the masses.” This book began as a doctoral dissertation, and its writing has thus been an integral part of my formation as an intellectual. The process has undoubtedly tried the patience of many individuals and collectives, who have, nevertheless, unstintingly contributed to it. Foremost amongst these is Rick Gruneau, who, as my doctoral supervisor, allowed me the latitude to follow my interests, offered insightful criticism, and had the generosity of spirit to support a dissertation some of whose specific arguments he disagreed with. Other faculty members at Simon Fraser University also strongly influenced the project, without bearing responsibility for its outcome. Chin Bannerjee’s course on Lukacs, interrupted as it was by a campus strike, set the political ball rolling a long time ago. Michael Lebowitz’s profound lectures on Capital and Grundrisse showed me what Marxism could, and should, be. Two great teachers now, alas, gone to glory, deeply marked my thinking about the issues discussed here. Margaret Benston introduced me to cyberspace, but, much more importantly, gave me an enduring example of warmth and intelligence on the left before her tragically early death. Dallas Smythe, whose writings I had long admired, did me the honour of reading a draft chapter and discussing it one memorable afternoon very shortly before he passed away. If these pages contain anything worthy of such mentors, scholars and revolutionaries both, then I regard the writing time as well spent. My friends and fellow doctoral students Dorothy Kidd and Santiago Valles played a very special role in the production of this book.
