Prometheus by the Bay
A sequence of recent science‐fiction films set in the San Francisco Bay Area suggests that Silicon Valley corporations have become a major concern for Hollywood. These films present Silicon Valley capitalism in thrall to a technological experimentation that prompts disastrous outcomes, which the films collectively argue emerges from the corporations' drive for profit and ignorance of the precautionary principle. Yet Hollywood's response to Silico…

Free Huey or the Sky’s the Limit
In October 1967, the co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, Huey P. Newton was arrested and charged with the murder of a police officer. His organization, which was on the point of collapse, rallied around him, courtesy of a major campaign that ran through his trial and his two years in prison, making ‘Free Huey’ a rallying cry for radicals across the globe. It transformed the BPP into one of the most visible political organizati…

The Shadow of the Soul Breaker
The article probes the impact of prison on Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party. Incarcerated for three years in various locations in California, Newton descended into cocaine addiction and criminality soon after his 1970 release. The current literature fails to account for the impact of solitary confinement on Newton’s life and consequently misinterprets his descent into criminality. The article suggests that the immense pressures …

Dirty Harry’s San Francisco
This article argues that Dirty Harry (Siegel, 1971) is first and foremost a San Francisco film, a perspective that has been ignored by current literature. The article merges a close reading of the film’s narrative, iconography, and semiotics with an analysis of the film’s representation and refraction of San Francisco’s history, politics, culture, and popular image. It exposes the extent of the film’s conservative credentials, placing particular …
Spreading ripples
This article applies Robert Putnam's conception of social capital to the history of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Mississippi during the 1960s. It challenges Putnam's privileging of bridging social capital at the expense of bonding social capital, arguing that such a binary interpretation fails to appreciate the extent to which bonding and bridging forms of social capital can work to reinforce each other. Putnam's inatte…

The Historiography of the Black Panther Party
This article examines forty years of historical writing on the Black Panther Party (BPP), arguing that this historiography has now reached maturity. It evaluates key publications on the BPP, splitting the historiography into three periods. The first phase, the article asserts, was dominated by accounts written by participants and observers of the BPP in action. These offered insight into the personalities of the BPP leadership but included relati…

Examining the fields of music, literature, theatre, and the visual arts, Street adds a compelling and authoritative new voice to those who have long argued that culture represents one of the most importa…
Malcolm X, Smethwick, and the Influence of the African American Freedom Struggle on British Race Relations in the 1960s
In February 1965, Malcolm X visited Smethwick, a small U.K. town that had recently elected Peter Griffiths as its Member of Parliament on a borderline racist anti-immigration platform. His comments there caused a minor furor in the British press. An examination of the events leading to his visit reveals crucial differences between racial attitudes in the United Kingdom and the United States; his arrival threatened to erase these differences. Malc…
