Efeito Eros, de George N. Katsiaficas
Apresentado originalmente em 1989 na Conferência Nacional da American Sociological Association, este texto do sociólogo norte-americano George N. Katsiaficas faz um levantamento das teorias tradicionais dos movimentos populares à luz de seu distanciamento do agregador tradicional das lutas de libertação, a classe. A partir de movimentos como os dos direitos civis das mulheres e dos negros nos Estados Unidos, Katsiaficas mostra que as teorias trad…

Asia's Unknown Uprisings Volume 1
Using social movements as a prism to illuminate the oft-hidden history of 20th-century Korea, this book provides detailed analysis of major uprisings that have patterned that country’s politics and society. From the 1894 Tonghak Uprising through the March 1, 1919, independence movement and anti-Japanese resistance, a direct line is traced to the popular opposition to U.S. division of Korea after World War Two. The overthrow of Syngman Rhee in 196…

Comparing the Paris Commune and the Gwangju Uprising
This paper examines similarities and differences between the Paris Commune and the Gwangju Uprising. Although separated by more than a century, these two events contained many dynamics in common: the spontaneous emergence of popular organs of democratic decision-making; emergence of armed resistance from below; attenuation of criminal behavior in the cities; existence of genuine solidarity and cooperation among the citizenry; suspension of hierar…

Ibn Khaldun
After situating 1bn Khaldun in his historical context, I critically examine his views on topics relevant to contemporary discussions of identity. He was a dialectical thinker for whom spirit was a material force, a staunch advocate of justice (which indicated to him the need for a strong state), and a partisan in the struggle to ennoble the human species. I seek to illuminate his contributions to the forging of an understanding that is both spiri…

The Theory of Nationalism; Hippies and the Left; A Comment on Recent MR Books
Yousef Al-Haythem, in his letter on "MR and New Outlook" (MR, October 1974), bases his criticism of MRon a principle which, he insists, "all serious socialists and Marxists must agree upon," that of "unconditional support of the right of all nations to self-determination." Most revolutionary socialists in the United States would unquestioningly support this principle, rhetorically at least. But I would suggest that the notion that nations have an…
The Meaning of May 1968
The men in power had their universities/ The students took them./ The men in power had their factories/ The workers took them./ The men in power had their radios/ The journalists took them./ The men in power only have their power now/ We shall take it. -Poster, Beaux-Arts, May 1968. Even though the first seven lines of this poster were true, the grand finale failed to materialize. Of course, a one- or two-month long revolution is not possible. Bu…

The Extraparliamentary Left In Europe
The Reagan administration's plan to install medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe has aroused a wide spectrum of international opposition which recently has been given considerable publicity in the United States. A quarter of a million people marched against the missiles in Bonn on October 10. Similar large-scale protest marches with distinctly anti-American overtones were held two weeks later in Paris, London, Brussels, and Rome. On September …
