Chuck, I'm sure Loren has read a gazillion texts on the 60's. Here is his website, btw. http://home.earthlink.net/~lrgoldner/
Break Their Haughty Power "The working class and the employer class have nothing in common." IWW Preamble, 1905
The following texts were written between 1973 and 2000. Some of them, beginning in the late 1980s, were published in US journals such as Against the Current, New Politics, Critique, Collective Action Notes and Race Traitor; a few have appeared in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean and Russian translation. Others are appearing in the Marx / Third Millennium series of Queequeg Publications. The majority, however, were consigned by circumstance to what Marx called "the gnawing critique of the mice." As such, they circulated only in xerox format to very limited circles of readers. I am posting them today, not because they necessarily possess any overarching coherence or because the evolution of one individual is of any particular importance. Rather, since different readers over the years have found different texts to be useful, I am using the new possibilities opened by the web to make them more generally available than they have been in my file cabinets.
Critique and comment are invited.

What's New After leaving this site fallow for some time, I have added a number of texts, most recently, a dialogue with/critique of CLR James et al.'s 1958 book Facing Reality. But more importantly, I have used the new scanning technology to add a number of pre-Internet, pre-computer texts from the 1970s and 1980s. These include a number of book reviews, two articles from the short-lived and ill-fated single issue of Strategy (1977), and my book-length study of race and class in the work of Herman Melville.
