Im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches stehen der Polizei-Einsatz gegen Demonstranten auf dem Parteitag der Demokratischen Partei im August 1968 in Chicago und der Prozeß gegen acht dieser Demonstranten, der vom September 1969 bis Februar 1970 in Chicago stattfand; unter den Angeklagten befand sich auch Bobby Seale, der Vorsitzende der Black Panther Party. In beiden Ereignissen dokumentierte sich die neue Strategie von Regierung und Justiz zur Zerschlagung der radikalen Opposition im Lande. Hayden deckt die Wurzeln dieser Strategie auf, ihre ideologischen Implikationen und ihre Ziele.

Die Brüder Geer und Bram van Velde gehörten zu Becketts Malerfreunden, zu denen auch Tal Coat, Andre Masson und Henri Hayden zählten. Der Text »Die Malerei der van Veldes oder Die Welt und die Hose« spielt auf eine alte Weisheit an: DER KUNDE: Gott hat die Welt in sechs Tagen erschaffen, und Sie schaffen es nicht, mir in sechs Monaten eine Hose zu machen. DER SCHNEIDER: Aber, mein Herr, sehen Sie sich doch die Welt an, und sehen Sie da Ihre Hose! Beckett und Bram van Velde waren von der Lebensauffassung, dem Charakter und der gesellschaftlichen Position her gesehen Geistesverwandte. Bram van Velde schrieb: »Diese Freundschaft mit Beckett ist das wichtigste Ereignis in meinem Leben. Er hatte Augen für meine Arbeitsweise. Und was er in Worten ausdrücken konnte, das tat ich mit meinem Bildern.«

“Think of a man walking in the desert,” writes Griffin, “looking for the path to its summit, looking for the observatory that may, at last, shed light on what’s below.”In this luminous and moving book of essays, award-winning author Shaun Griffin weaves together a poetic meditation on living meaningfully in this world. Anchored in the American West but reaching well beyond, he recounts his discoveries as a poet and devoted reader of poetry, a teacher of the disadvantaged, a friend of poets and artists, and a responsible member of the human family.Always grounded in place, be it Nevada, South Africa, North Dakota, Spain, Zimbabwe, or Mexico, Griffin confronts the world with an openness that allows him to learn and grow from the people he meets. This is a meditation on how all of us can confront our own influences to achieve wholeness in our lives. Along with Griffin, readers will reflect on how they might respond to a homeless man walking through central Nevada, viewing the open desert as Thoreau might have viewed Walden, seeing the US-Mexico border as a region of lost identity, reconciling how poets who live west of the Hudson River find anonymity to be their laurel, and experiencing how writing poetry in prison becomes lifesaving.Whether poets or places in the West or beyond, experiences with other cultures, or an acute awareness that poetry is the refuge of redress—all have influenced Griffin’s writing and thinking as a poet and activist in the Great Basin. The mindfulness of Because the Light Will Not Forgive Me demonstrates that even though the light does not forgive, it still reveals.

Son of famous sociologists Helen and Robert Lynd, Staughton Lynd was one of the most visible figures of the New Left, a social movement during the 1960s that emphasized participatory democracy. His tireless campaign for social justice prompted his former Spelman College student, Alice Walker, to remember him as “her courageous white teacher” who represented “activism at its most contagious because it was always linked to celebration and joy.”In this first full-length study of Lynd’s activist career, author Carl Mirra charts the development of the New Left and traces Lynd’s journey into the southern civil rights and anti–Vietnam War movements during the 1960s. He details Lynd’s service as a coordinator of the Mississippi Freedom Schools, his famous and controversial peace mission to Hanoi with Tom Hayden, his turbulent academic career, and the legendary attempt by the Radical Historians’ Caucus within the American Historical Association to elect him AHA president. The book concludes with Lynd’s move in the 1970s to Niles, Ohio, where he assisted in the struggle to keep the steel mills open and where he works as a labor lawyer today.The Admirable Radical is an important contribution to the study of social history and will interest both social and intellectual historians.“Some studies have emphasized the burnout of the 1960s generation or the conversion of former radicals to conservative politics; Lynd, however, has remained a steadfast, long-distance runner.” — from the Introduction
There is no more contentious and perennial issue in the history of modern Western thought than the vexed relationship between the genesis of an idea and its claim to validity beyond it. Can ideas or values transcend their temporal origins and overcome the sin of their original context, and in so doing earn abiding respect for their intrinsic merit? Or do they inevitably reflect them in ways that undermine their universal aspirations? Are discrete contexts so incommensurable and unique that the smooth passage of ideas from one to the other is impossible? Are we always trapped by the limits of our own cultural standpoints and partial perspectives, or can we somehow escape their constraints and enter into a fruitful dialogue with others? These persistent questions are at the heart of the discipline known as intellectual history, which deals not only with ideas, but also with the men and women who generate, disseminate, and criticize them. The essays in this collection, by one of the most recognized figures in the field, address them through engagement with leading intellectual historians—Hans Blumenberg, Quentin Skinner, Hayden White, Isaiah Berlin, Frank Ankersmit—as well other giants of modern thought—Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Georg Lukács. They touch on a wide variety of related topics, ranging from the heroism of modern life to the ability of photographs to lie. In addition, they explore the fraught connections between philosophy and theory, the truth of history and the truthfulness of historians, and the weaponization of free speech for other purposes.
