Description

After World War II, the McCarthy period on the one hand and Nikita Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin on the other proved problematic for the American radical Left. A fresh wave of leftist publications, self-styled as counter-culture, cropped up at the height of the hippie movement, including the Berkeley Barb. Though many reformist magazines continue to be published, social and political movements have largely moved to the internet to organize, publicize, and galvanize.
