Lessons from Davis: The Sociology of Arthur Kent Davis
Cet essai critique presente non seulement les deux volumes d'ecrits choisis d'Arthur Kent Davis, publies en 1991 et 1993, mais egalement la biographie du sociologue, dans l'optique de l'evolution de sa carriere et de sa methodologie. Arrive a la conclusion que « l'analyse structuro-fonctionnaliste ne menait nulle part », il se tourna vers la dialectique et entreprit d'analyser les Etats-Unis dans les annees 1950 et le Canada dans les annees 1970.…

A Prairie 'Dust Devil;'1The Rise and Decline of A Research Institute
In 1963 the administrative head of a Canadian social science research institute prohibited the private circulation and the independent publication of several research reports produced by permanent and part-time members of the staff. The Institute was located on a university campus, but it was not an integral part of the university. It was chartered and financed mainly by a provincial government. Several years earlier, the establishment of this In…

Decline and Fall
However stifling the policies of the United States since World War II, American progressives have assumed that some bright day, sooner or later, these dreary blunderings must come to an end. Then this nightmarish old regime will give way to a brave new era, and a rejuvenated America will resume its place in the forward march of civilization. Socialism perchance will displace capitalism. Just how this great transition will take place evokes bitter…

A New Look at Chinese History, Part II
Our aim in this paper is to outline a view of Chinese history that accords with the facts better than the prevailing Western conception does. The latter stems from the limited experience of the past century, when China was weak, backward, and forcibly opened by and for Western exploitation. During most of history, however, China has been not only a great state, but a leader in science and civilization. With the recent consolidation of the Communi…

A New Look at Chinese History, Part I
Revolutions bring profound changes in a social order. One of their secondary effects is to stimulate new perspectives on the history of the revolutionary society.... The triumphant emergence of new powers and of revolutionary socialism in Asia has already rendered obsolete the traditionally bigoted Western view of world history. Spacewise, this view encompasses little more than the end of the European peninsula plus North America, with a few vagu…

Some Sources of American Hostility to Russia
There may be sociological as well as economic and political factors in American hostility toward Russia. Some limited aspects of the American social system are considered as contributory elements in Soviet-American antagonism under three headings: institutional ethnocentrism, institutional rivalry, and scapegoating. Institutional differences tend to arouse moral indignation. Certain similarities between the two societies may evoke rivalry and com…

Freedom Under Socialism: Summary and Comment
In winning people to socialism, no issue is more crucial than that of freedom under socialism. The discussion in recent issues of MR clearly poses the problem and takes us far toward a valid solution. Let us summarize the essential points made by Messrs. Kaminsky, O'Sheel, and Bachrach, and by the editors of MR.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a P…
Behind the Civil Rights Crisis
We face a mounting crisis in civil rights. Thought control, social and economic penalties, and downright coercion are being applied to nonconformists. Some of these repressive measures are aimed at maintaining the status of already depressed minorities, especially Negroes. Others are directed at groups only recently singled out for large-scale discrimination-public servants, teachers, critics of government policies, and above all the Communist Pa…

Anti-Communism and Fascism
The United States is moving toward fascism and war. New developments may change this course, but we speak here of present trends. Two great facts dominate today's pattern of events: (1) Abroad, the central fact is the impossibility of containing Communism. Revolutionary change has already settled the destiny of Eastern Europe and China, and similar tendencies are materializing in the rest of Asia and in parts of Southern Europe and Africa.This ar…

Juvenile Delinquency Under Capitalism and Socialism
Juvenile delinquency is a vague term covering almost any sort of youthful "anti-social" behavior from mere disobedience to serious crime. Newspapers today are filled with accounts of vandalism, thefts, and acts of violence committed by teen-agers, often with no apparent reason. A massive literature on causes and cures has piled up. Yet delinquency continues to increase, regardless of reform measures, exhortations, research reports, or "treat 'em …
