The theme of Issue 34 of the Humboldt Journal of Social Relations is Social Justice Action, Teaching, and Research. The first article of this issue, "The Art of Social Justice," features the works of a slam poet, Vanessa Pike-Vrtiak, an activist artist, Eduardo Valadez, and an overview of the social science literature capturing the role of art in social justice movements. The two artists featured are both active in their communities and worldwide…
Of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing and the Damage Done
The Left We Have and the Left We Need
The Left We Have and the Left We Need Barbara Epstein (bio) In this short piece I will explore the reasons why the American left failed to foresee and act to avert the rise of the right-wing movement that put Donald Trump in power. I will also make some comments on the related question of why enough people voted for Trump to put him in the White House, though this is an open question and will no doubt remain so for years. Much of the press's anal…

Notes on the Antiwar Movement
The movement against the war in Iraq was the largest antiwar movement that has ever taken place. Even in the United States, where opposition to the war was not as large as in many other parts of the world, demonstrations against the war grew with astonishing rapidity. Before the war began demonstrations had reached sizes that, during the war in Vietnam, took years of organizing to mobilize. The antiwar movement, in the United States as elsewhere,…
Feminist Consciousness After the Women's Movement
There is no longer an organized feminist movement in the United States that influences the lives and actions of millions of women and engages their political support. There are many organizations, ranging from the National Organization for Women to women's caucuses in labor unions and professional groups, which fight for women's rights, and there are many more organizations, many of them including men as well as women, whose priorities include wo…
What Happened to the Women's Movement
From the late sixties into the eighties there was a vibrant women's movement in the United States. Culturally influential and politically powerful, on its liberal side this movement included national organizations and campaigns for reproductive rights, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and other reforms. On its radical side it included women's liberation and consciousness raising groups, as well as cultural and grassroots projects. The women's mo…
Anarchism and the Anti-Globalization Movement
Many among today's young radical activists, especially those at the center of the anti-globalization and anti-corporate movements, call themselves anarchists. But the intellectual/philosophical perspective that holds sway in these circles might be better described as an anarchist sensibility than as anarchism per se. Unlike the Marxist radicals of the sixties, who devoured the writings of Lenin and Mao, today's anarchist activists are unlikely to…

Anti-Communism, Homophobia, and the Construction of Masculinity in the Postwar U.S
During the late forties and through the fifties the U.S. was swept by a number of panics, of which anti-Communism and homophobia were prominent. This article examines these fears, and the parallels between them, in an effort to locate some sources of those anxieties. The article argues that the discourses about homosexuality and Communism became vehicles for the expression of concerns that lay closer to home and were more difficult to talk about-…

Political Protest and Cultural Revolution: Nonviolent Direct Action in the 1970s and 1980s
From her perspective as both participant and observer, Barbara Epstein examines the nonviolent direct action movement which, inspired by the civil rights movement, flourished in the United States from the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties. Disenchanted with the politics of both the mainstream and the organized left, and deeply committed to forging communities based on shared values, activists in this movement developed a fresh, philosophy and sty…
