Trendsetters of the Left They Bear the Weight of Past Scandals and Win Few Readers, Yet They Powerfully Infl Uence Popular Media and Academe Trendsetters of the Left They bear the weight of past scandals and win few readers, yet they powerfully infl uence popular media and academe By Barbara Joanna Lucas Summary : The “little magazines” of the Left lose money and enjoy small readerships, but they help shape nearly everything an American sees on TV, at the movies, or in the popular press. They also infl uence what your children will be taught in college and grade school. And yet these journals have checkered pasts that include underpaying their own workers (even as they decry “greedy capitalists”), fabricating stories from whole cloth, apologizing for Stalin, and sometimes even spying for the Soviets. he mainstream media is part and parcel of the Left in America. But Tbig media takes some of its cues from a more intensely ideological subsector of the media universe. Left-wing “think” magazines produce cutting-edge analyses of current events and trends that eventually trickle down to large national media outlets Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation , appears on MSNBC’s and smaller regional media. “Ed Show.” (undated screen grab) for deviating from the Left’s playbook.

The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. ATC Session: 1 Interviewee: Stephen F. Cohen Location: New York, NY Interviewer: Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux Date: April 5, 2017 Q: This is Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux. I’m here with Professor Stephen F. [Frand] Cohen. Today is Wednesday, April 5, 2017 and this is for the Harriman Institute Oral History Project. We are recording this interview in New York on the upper west side. Professor Cohen, thank you again for joining us today, for the time. Cohen: I’d say my pleasure, but first of all I’m not sure anyone wants to rummage through the past in these times. It’s hard to think about the past today with all the weight of current events pressing down on us. Q: Which we’ll get to as well, I hope. But let’s start well in the past. Let’s start in the beginning. So you were just showing me some photographs of Kentucky where you grew up. So I know you were born there. Tell me a little bit about your childhood in Kentucky. Cohen: Actually I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana.

  • The Roots of Post-Racial Neoliberalism in Blacklist Era Hollywood
    The Roots of Post-Racial Neoliberalism in Blacklist Era Hollywood A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Paul IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Lary May, Tracey Deutsch March 2014 © Andrew Paul 2014 Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation would not have been possible without the support of countless others. First, I acknowledge the generosity of my dissertation committee. My advisors, Lary May and Tracey Deutsch offered enthusiastic guidance, criticism, and support. Lary’s own contributions to the historiography of the blacklist were second in value only to his personal attention to my work, and his questions yielded important research leads. Tracey helped me to think across sub-fields and pushed me to improve my writing. Both of them encouraged me to take intellectual risks and to make bold claims and interventions. Elaine Tyler May, Riv-Ellen Prell, and Malinda Lindquist all shaped my development as a scholar as well. With thoughtful and critical attention to my writing, they challenged me to clarify my ideas and helped me to see how my work was entering different conversations, and how it might stand to enter others. It was a privilege to be able to discuss my ideas with this committee. I was awarded generous financial sums from the University of Minnesota’s Harold Leonard Memorial Film Studies Fellowship and the University of Minnesota Foundation, which allowed me travel to archives in California, Wisconsin, and New York. In these locales, at the Charles Young Research Library at the University of California Los Angeles, the Margaret Herrick Library and the Paley Center for Media, both located in Beverly Hills, the Wisconsin State Historical Society in Madison, and at the Center for Jewish History in New York City, numerous archivists assisted me in my work., and for this I owe them my gratitude.

International Security and the Need for U.S.-Russia Cooperation U.S. Global Engagement Stephen F. Cohen, Jack F. Matlock, John Pepper, William vanden Heuvel, David C. Speedie Transcript Introduction DAVID SPEEDIE: Good evening. I'm David Speedie, director of the program on U.S. Global Engagement here at the Carnegie Council. We like to think of every event here at the Council as special. This one is special for a number of reasons, not least because of our remarkable panel, but also because it's a co-sponsorship with two other organizations, the Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia at New York University, with whom we have partnered before, and also the American Committee for East-West Accord, of which more just in a moment. Our meeting is on Russia and I want to acknowledge immediately for support of our work on Russia, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and on U.S.-Russia relations, which are probably best summarized at the moment as not good and getting worse. A couple of years ago, of course, it was over Ukraine that things began to go sour. Now the headline grabber is Syria, where there is not only a sharp difference on how to end a civil war but the real threat of armed confrontation between Russia and the NATO ally, namely Turkey. The gravity of the situation, I think, was amply and starkly underscored last week at the 52nd Munich Security Conference.

    The Red Mask of Sanity Paul Robeson, HUAC, and the Sound of Cold War Performance Tony Perucci That’s why you were a Commie, Oscar, because you were batty. It was the only philosophy that would appeal to your crazy mind. —“Mike Hammer” in Mickey Spillane’s One Lonely Night (1951) I know I am paranoid. But you know, any black man who is not paranoid is in serious shape. He should be in an asylum and kept under cover. —Richard Wright to Ollie Harrington (in Rowley 2001:491) When Paul Robeson purportedly stated at the 1949 Paris Peace Conference that it would be “unthinkable” for blacks to fight in a potential war against the Soviet Union (Duberman 1989:242), he was vilified in the US as a mentally unstable traitor. While the US press in gen- eral dubbed Robeson as un-American, the New York Times claimed he suffered from “twisted TDR: The Drama Review 53:4 (T204) Winter 2009. ©2009 18 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology thinking” (in Cygan 2002:90) and columnist Earl Brown called him “just plain screwy” (in Duberman 1989:343). The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) held special hearings to give “members of his [Robeson’s] race” the “privilege” of “the expression of contrary views” to the “disloyal and unpatriotic statements” (in Duberman 1989:359) Robeson had uttered, indicating both that blacks now bore the responsibility of denying that his views were representative and that the American power structures feared that they were.

While initially hampered by low name recognition, Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, managed to grow his brand and gain an enormous following. His supporters appreciated his honesty, anti-establishment message, and progressive positions on income redistribution, the environment, and foreign policy. Sanders, however, who is of Jewish heritage, often faced animosity from pro-Israel political groups. After speaking about Israeli aggression and the plight of the Palestinians early on the campaign trail, Sanders found himself forced to justify his statements in lieu of his presumed Jewishness. Within the State of Israel, the general population watched as the first Jewish presidential candidate to win multiple primaries would also be one of the first major American politicians to openly criticize the occupation, settlement expansion, and violence in Israel.
