Mr. Capra Goes to Washington
Frank Capra's 1939 film, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, is often described as a paean to the American populist hero, the patriotic little man who stands up to corruption. But Capra's so-called little-man trilogy, which includes Mr. Smith, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), and Meet John Doe (1941), document Capra's deeply ambivalent viewof the people and his investment in the personal power of the media manipulator
How the Working Class Saved Capitalism: The New Labor History and The Devil and Miss Jones
It is over now, agrees Nelson Lichtenstein, but all labor history seems either to have looked forward to this moment of mass industrial unionism or backward upon those two decades [the 1930s and 1940s] when American politics stood on verge of acquiring a European, social democratic character. 1 Far from looking forward and backward from the age of cIo [Congress of Industrial Organizations], as Michael Denning has characterized thirties, film hist…

Dear Theory & Event
Dear Theory & Event Michael Rogin (bio) Dear Theory & Event, Perhaps a letter will best communicate the informal nature of my response to the “End of Democracy?” My favorite moment is when Hadley Arkes moves from locating marriage in the “‘natural teleology of the body’ — the inescapable fact that only two people, not three, only a man and a woman, can beget a child,” to warning that “if marriage were entirely a matter of law, . . . Brothers migh…

La répression politique aux États-Unis
La répression politique aux États-Unis. Cet article, publié en anglais il y a plus de dix ans, rompt avec l'image traditionnelle d'une Amérique temple des libertés. En considérant comme centrale dans l'histoire des États-Unis la lutte ininterrompue contre les forces de subversion, on constate que la répression politique connut dans ce pays trois grandes phases, chacune prenant appui sur les précédentes et se les incorporant. Au cours de la premiè…
Blackface, White Noise: Jewish Immigrants in the Hollywood Melting Pot
The tangled connections that have bound Jews to African Americans in popular culture and liberal politics are at the heart of Michael Rogin's arresting and unnerving book. Looking at films from Birth of a Nation to Forrest Gump , Rogin explores blackface in Hollywood films as an aperture to broader issues: the nature of "white" identity in America, the role of race in transforming immigrants into "Americans," the common experiences of Jews and Af…

Voluntarism: The Political Functions of an Antipolitical Doctrine
Political action based on a broad appeal of common interests with other groups in the community is today taken for granted by most trade union leaders. Yet not much more than a generation ago, the leadership of the American labor movement had come to eschew the state as a means of achieving trade union goals, and in some cases even adopted an extreme antistate position.

"California Populism and the "System of 1896
TWO-PARTY tradition has dominated American politics since the early days of the Republic. Normal times see relatively stable competition between the two major parties. Substantial continuity in party program is matched by stable party loyalties at the grass roots. One party can usually be called the majority party, although over time the parties often approach a fairly equal distribution of electoral strength. But periodic political transformatio…
