| Abstract:
|
The Tamiment Library at New York University established the Oral History of the American
Left in 1976 in order to collect and preserve the memories of veteran activists. These
interviews describe seven decades of Left politics from the 1910s through the 1970s.
They document the full spectrum of left politics in the twentieth century: Socialism,
Communism, Anarchism, Trotskyism, and the New Left. There are interviews with both
leaders and rank-and-file activists.
