| The collection dates primarily from the late
1960s and early 1970s and contains pamphlets, broadsides, newspapers, and
other printed items of an ephemeral nature. Issues addressed include the
Vietnam War; American political and economic involvement in other countries,
especially in Latin America; civil rights, racism, and black power; socialism
and communism and their relevance to the United States; economics and labor;
and women's liberation. Much of the material originated from groups in the
Midwest, especially Milwaukee. The American New Left Collection is organized
into two series: |
| |
|
| Series: |
1: Subject Files (1960-1975). |
| |
2: Newspapers and Periodicals (1969-1975). |
| |
|

|
SERIES
DESCRIPTIONS AND CONTAINER LISTS
|
| |
|
| Series 1: |
SUBJECT FILES (1960-1975) |
| |
|
| Includes publications of a non-serial nature
grouped by topics or organizations. An attempt has been made in the descriptions
to indicate if an item also relates to a significant degree to a subject(s)
other than the one under which it is filed. It has not been possible, however,
to note all such relationships since many of the publications cover a broad
range of topics in their analysis and criticism of American society. |
