Events ... 9 War is the Health of the State An Interview with Howard Zinn Howard Zinn has been a pivotal figure in the American Left for decades. As an activist and writer, he has influenced generations of leftists and helped encourage a strong commitment to direct democracy, anti-racism, and grassroots action. We asked Zinn about the current changes in the political environment, his theoretical commitments, and some of the challenges faced by radical intellectuals. This interview was conducted by e-mail in the spring of 2003. ~ Paul Glavin & Chuck Morse How would you define the "War on Terrorism"? care, and other social services.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, we will explore birds through many lens and avenues. As naturalists, we will seek out birds in the wild, experimenting with different approaches to observation. We will consider common themes in the life circumstances of birds, as well as explore the impact of human civilization on the ecology of natural habitats. Further, we will explore birds as symbols of the human imagination as expressed. HUM 3070. Borderlands: Exploring Identities & Borders. 3-4 Unit. HUM 3090.

Using both academic and empirical examples, students will explore and uncover how queer thought has influenced such diverse human endeavors as civil rights, athletics, literature, pop culture, and science.

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • "That [Zinn] Was Considered Radical Says Way More About This Society Than It Does About Him." (Herbert 2010)
    -~(~~- REMEMBERING ZINN: CONFESSIONS OF A RADICAL HISTORIAN MICHAEL SNODGRASS "That [Zinn] was considered radical says way more about this society than it does about him." (Herbert 2010) In the mid-1990s, at the University of Texas, I and my fellow­ traveling graduate students organized a Radical History Reading Group. As scholarship, "radical history" implied two things for us: a critical rendering of the past from a leftist perspective, and a scholarship that examines history "from the roots," not only recovering the silenced perspectives of ordinary people but also foregrounding their grassroots and progressive movements that challenged entrenched systems of power and injustice. Our reading group was a modest attempt to engage with what we considered to be cutting-edge scholarship, to share and discuss our own research papers, and to then retreat to the hole-in­ the-wall bars along Austin's Guadalupe Street. Our own interests as radical historians ranged widely: Cuban slave rebels, the American Indian Movement, Argentine anarchists, southern abolitionists, bandits in the US-Mexican borderlands. But we all embraced the idea that the past should be analyzed and narrated from the perspective of the oppressed, and of those who struggled on behalf of the underdogs. So upon receiving funding from our history department to host our first guest speaker we instinctively invited Howard Zinn, a self-confessed radical, a historian - a Radical Historian like us. Professor Zinn accepted our offer. It was 1995. The first revised edition of A People's History of the United States was newly released. His sweeping 600-page survey of U.S.

  • Howard Zinn on Dissent, Democracy, and Education
    REVITALIZING POLITICS NOW AND THEN: HOWARD ZINN ON DISSENT, DEMOCRACY, AND EDUCATION Aaron Cooley This paper presents a discussion of Howard Zinn's intellectual and political ideas. Through the analysis of selections from his immense body of work, several interrelated themes emerge. Drawing more attention to these notions of dissent and democracy is crucial to revi­ talizing education at all levels and vital to advancing the public dis­ course towards progressive goals. Howard's remarkable life and work are summarized best in his own words. His primary concern, he explained, was "the countless small actions of unknown people" that lie at the roots of "those great moments" that enter the historical record-a record that will be pro­ foundly misleading, and seriously disempowering, if it is tom from these roots as it passes through the filters of doctrine and dogma. His life was always closely intertwined with his writings and innu­ merable talks and interviews. It was devoted, selflessly, to empow­ erment of the unknown people who brought about great moments. (Chomsky 2010,2) Introduction In life, Howard Zinn was controversial. Upon his passing in 2010, even some of his obituaries were unable to avoid controversy. The prime and sorry example was a brief story on National Public Radio that discussed his work and its context: Professor, author and political activist Howard Zinn died yesterday. Considered the people's historian, Zinn's book, A People's History of the United States, was unabashedly leftist. It celebrated the historical contribution of feminists, workers and people of color when other books did not.

At the end of the hour one of the students came up to the desk. He was a little older than the others. He said: "I notice in your course outline you will be discussing the case of U.S. vs. O'Brien. When we come to that I would like to say something about it." I was a bit surprised, but glad that a student would take such initiative. I said, "Sure. What's your name?" He said: "O'Brien. David O'Brien." It was, indeed, his case. It began the morning of March 31, 1966. American troops were pouring into Vietnam, and U.S.

  • Despite Trump's Election, a Groundswell for Radical Change In
    Despite Trump’s election, a groundswell for radical change in the US remains blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2017/01/10/despite-trumps-election-a-groundswell-for-radical-change-in-the-us-remains/ 1/10/2017 Last week Professor Randolph Persaud penned a response to Professor Inderjeet Parmar’s op-ed which had argued that this year will be an even better one for politics compared to 2016. Professor Parmar argues that we have should have reason to be optimistic going into Trump’s presidency; the groundswell for radical change in the US is still very powerful just as the ideology and institutions of the free market have seen their authority diminish in recent years. Last week on this blog, Professor Randolph Persaud responded to my December op-ed on the 2016 election. I am thankful to him for having the patience and interest to read some of my commentaries and op-eds on the elections and, equally, for engaging with their content in some detail. Although I have written a few articles here and there on British and US politics before, 2016 represented quite a departure in this respect – with a final tally of 25 between March and December. This was unplanned and was my way of responding to the fascinating and unique character of the election given the breadth of candidates – from Right to Left – and the openness of the political agenda. For the first time, it seemed to me, there was real choice on offer to voters, especially with the socialist candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders. Hence, given the number of columns in The Wire and their cumulative character in analytical and ‘documentary’ terms, and their attempt to say something that seemed significant to the specific phase of the election-political process and time of year, the initiative threw up unforeseen challenges, requiring attention.
