Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuba's grassroots revolution prevailed on America's doorstep in 1959, fueling intense interest within the multiracial American Left even as it provoked a backlash from the U.S. political establishment. In this groundbreaking book, historian Teishan A. Latner contends that in the era of decolonization, the Vietnam War, and Black Power, socialist Cuba claimed center stage for a generation of Americans who looked to the insurgent Third World for inspiration and political theory. As Americans studied the island's achievements in education, health care, and economic redistribution, Cubans in turn looked to U.S. leftists as collaborators in the global battle against inequality and allies in the nation's Cold War struggle with Washington. By forging ties with organizations such as the Venceremos Brigade, the Black Panther Party, and the Cuban American students of the Antonio Maceo Brigade, and by providing political asylum to activists such as Assata Shakur, Cuba became a durable global influence on the U.S. Left. Drawing from extensive archival and oral history research and declassified FBI and CIA documents, this is the first multidecade examination of the encounter between the Cuban Revolution and the U.S. Left after 1959. By analyzing Cuba's multifaceted impact on American radicalism, Latner contributes to a growing body of scholarship that has globalized the study of U.S. social justice movements.

Download or read book Daily Life in the United States, 1940-1959 written by Eugenia Kaledin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the everyday lives of ordinary Americans from the 1940s and 1950s and discover how very different the two decades were. World War II affected Americans and the way they behaved, not only in the 1940s, but also in the years that followed when the depression that preceded the war was replaced with an economic boom. Explore how women's roles and lives changed during these two very distinct decades, how politics and political decisions impacted all walks of life, and what the advent of growing technology, much of it developed during the war, meant to the general population. What was it like to be a woman suddenly earning her own money while men were off fighting? How did children and teenagers contribute to the war effort? How did housing change in postwar America? What pastimes were popular during these two decades and how did they reflect the times? These questions and others are explored in detail, encouraging students, teachers, and interested readers to recognize the tremendous shift in society between the war years and the atomic age that immediately followed. This text presents the 1940s as a time of social problems that existed alongside community commitment to the war, while the 1950s are presented as a time when exciting social change such as the beginning of the civil rights movement and the building of Levittowns occurred. After the war ordinary people began to question long-accepted ideas. The exploration of these everyday details provides a rich look at two very important decades in our country's history.

Book excerpt: The phenomenon we called the New Left is over. For something over a decade it flourished and made the Western world livelier and more exciting. Obviously the political left has not ceased to exist entirely. There will always be a left and a right so long as we continue to live by the political terms of the modern world. These terms were established by the French Revolution, that complex upheaval that also marked the emergence of a modern West as we know it. Until the influence of that great Age of Revolution has dissipated, we shall use "radical" and "radicalism," "left" and "right" as key terms to measure and define the political environments of modern nations and political systems. Yet, as a distinct phase of the radical assault on Western Establishments, the New Left has dwindled away and in the United States, at least, has ended. The New Left that emerged during the period from 1959 to 1962 was a well-defined phenomenon. Socially it was distinguished by its middle-class personnel, most of its members being university students or young professionals. The youthfulness of the New Left set it apart from the radical movements of America's past. Previous American radical movements had been led by adults with youth affiliates or auxiliaries trailing behind. Now, for the first time, young American men and women led an autonomous movement for social change without the supervision and control of middle-aged veterans. - Introduction.
