Illustration: New Left Review (No.1, January-February 1960)

New Left Review: The search for theory. By Ian Birchall (International Socialism, Issue 115, Summer 2007, p.202-205). Review of Duncan Thompson, Pessimism of the Intellect? A History of New Left Review (Merlin Press, 2007). “Written from a point of view of general support for the left, it makes some sharp and fundamental criticisms of NLR, but never in a hostile or sectarian manner.”

The suicide of New Left Review. By Boris Kagarlitsky (International Socialism, Issue 88, Autumn 2000, p.127-133). “From January 2000 NLR changed its editor, design and numbering. Before us we have number one, a little exercise book formatted in postmodernist style.”

An open letter to New Left Review. By Alex Callinicos, Paul Foot, Mike Gonzalez, Chris Harman, John Molyneux (International Socialism, Issue 50, Spring 1991, p.101–103). “… we have been horrified by your most recent issue (184) … the major article on the Gulf is by Fred Halliday, a supporter of American military action in the Gulf.”

The autonomy of theory: A short history of New Left Review. By Ian Birchall (International Socialism, Issue 10, Autumn 1980, p.51–91). “A history of New Left Review is more than an account of the evolution of one small group of intellectuals. It offers the possibility of examining the development of the British Left over the last two decades.”

Trotsky and the New Stalinism. By Chris Harman (International Socialism, Issue 160, Autumn 2018, p.145-151). Introduction by AC [Alex Callinicos] (p.143-145). “In 1967 New Left Review (NLR) published an article called ‘Trotsky’s Marxism’ by Nicolas Krassó … revealed a degree of ambivalence about both Trotsky and Stalinism on the part of the NLR editorial team … Harman’s article was never published … defending Trotsky against Krassó’s largely misconceived polemic.” See also John Rudge introduction: Trotsky and the New Stalinism (International Socialism, 18 October 2018).

Den franske forfatter Albert Camus dør ved bilulykke i Villeblevin, i amet Yonne i Frankrig. (Født 7. november 1913 i Algeriet).

Albert Camus and the fantasies of Empire (Jacobin, December 26, 2020). Danie Finn interviews Oliver Gloag: “The novelist Albert Camus is omnipresent in French cultural life, from TV shows to comic books, magazine covers and one-man shows. Camus-mania isn’t just a literary phenomenon: it draws on a deep well of political revisionism and colonial nostalgia.”

The colonial contradictions of Albert Camus. By Oliver Gloag (Jacobin, October 10, 2020). “French writer Albert Camus has become an iconic figure, celebrated by everyone from Emmanuel Macron to George W. Bush. But the idealized public image of Camus as a liberal humanist does not reckon honestly with the impact of French colonialism on his work.”

Albert Camus – The master of the absurd turns 100 (Philosophy Now, Apr/May 2015). “Ray Cavanaugh gives us a brief introduction to the life of Albert Camus.”

Moscou sous Lénine. Préface par Alfred Rosmer (1953). Forord side 3-4 af Albert Camus (online på fransk på blog La Bataille socialiste). Forordet er ikke i den engelske udgave af Rosmers klassiker.

Camus: Portrait of a ‘Rebel’ (Socialist Standard, No. 831, November 1973). “Probably the most important remark to be made about Camus is that he is a great novelist. Nevertheless, he also chose to be a political critic, and it is this aspect of’ his work that is of greatest interest to Socialists.”

Albert Camus som moralist. Af Eric Danielsen (Kristeligt Dagblad, 5. juli 2004). “Skønt Camus afviste etiketten »eksistentialist«, har forfatteren Stephen Eric Bronner nok ret i alligevel at placere ham inden for denne løseligt definerede filosofiske tradition. For Camus er det Guds fravær, der gør universet absurd.”

Camus, Albert and the anarchists (Libcom.org, October 30, 2007). “Organise! magazine looks at the life and work of the great thinker and writer, Albert Camus, and his close relationship with the French and Spanish anarchist movements.”

Borgerrettighedsbevægelsen i USAs sydstater starter en ikke-voldelig kampagne mod raceadskillelsen med sit-ins og boycot mod butikker osv. – med en 4-personers sit-in imod stormagasinet Wolworths cafe-disk i Greensboro, North Carolina.

When the walls of segregation toppled: Fiftieth anniversary of the civil rights sit-ins. By Brian Jones (International Socialist Review, Issue 69, January-February 2010). “They challenged each other to take action. Before the night was over, they agreed that the next day they would go to the local Woolworth’s and sit in the ‘white’s only’ section of the lunch counter and that they would refuse to leave until they were served.”

The 1960 Sit-ins in context. By Marty Oppenheimer (Against the Current, No.147, July/August 2010). “We think of the Sit-In Movement as beginning on February 1, 1960, fifty years ago. In the minds of many this was the initiating event that led to many subsequent developments in the broader civil rights movement, indeed as a turning point in Black, and more generally, U.S. history. But the sit-ins, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s had their origins in vast social changes that began long before.”

Sharpeville og frygten. Af Gorm Gunnarsen (Modkraft.dk/Kontradoxa, 21. marts 2010). “Sharpeville-massakren fulgte mønsteret fra undertrykkelsen af tidligere strejker og masseprotester – og især den efterfølgende undertrykkelse af befolkningens organiserede sorg viser et meget gustent overlæg.”

Det begyndte i Sharpeville. Af Morten Møller og Simon Ankjærgaard (Information.dk, 20. marts 2010). “I morgen er det 50 år siden, sydafrikansk politi skød og dræbte mænd, kvinder og børn under en demonstration i forstaden Sharpeville. Med massakren begyndte den internationale kritik, som i sidste ende bidrog til apartheidregimets fald.”

Fortidens synder VIII: Mandela, Jyllands-Posten og alle de primitive negre. Af Ulrik Dahlin (Information, 20. september 2008). “Sharpeville-massakren fulgte mønsteret fra undertrykkelsen af tidligere strejker og masseprotester – og især den efterfølgende undertrykkelse af befolkningens organiserede sorg viser et meget gustent overlæg.”

Massacre that exposed apartheid—60 years after Sharpeville (Socialist Worker, Issue 2697, 20 March 2020). “Sixty years ago this week the small township of Sharpeville in South Africa hit the headlines around the world. In 1985 Socialist Worker’s Alan Gibson looked at what happened.”

Fifty years since the Sharpeville Massacre: The nature of post-Apartheid South Africa. By Brian Smith (World Socialist Web Site, 29 March 2010). “The incident escalated the opposition to Apartheid, which maintained rigid racial segregation and disenfranchised the non-white majority, bringing international focus onto the Pretoria regime.”

The Sharpeville Massacre: Its historic significance in the struggle against apartheid. By David M. Sibeko (African National Congress; Notes and Documents, No.8, March 1976). “The savage massacre of African patriots at Sharpeville and other places in South Africa on March 21, 1960, is of paramount significance in the struggle against apartheid and needs to be understood in its historical scope.”

How American dockworkers fought Apartheid in South Africa. By Peter Cole (Jacobin, November 24, 2024). “Forty years ago today, San Francisco dockworkers struck a blow against apartheid by refusing to unload cargo from South Africa. That kind of international worker solidarity is badly needed today to end Israeli genocide and apartheid.”

Koordinatoren af den nazistiske “endelige løsning på jødespørgsmålet” (folkemordet på jøderne) Adolf Eichmann kidnappes af israelske agenter i Argentina, og selve Eichmann-processen i Jerusalem varer 11. april -15. december 1961. Han dødsdømmes og bliver henrettet ved hængning 1. juni 1962.

Hvordan kunne det ske? Af Peter Tudvad (Ekko, nr.27, marts-april 2005). “I anledning af Hitler-filmen Der Untergang, som kan ses i biografen, reflekterer filosoffen Peter Tudvad over ondskaben i Det Tredje Rige, der gennemførte et folkedrab af uhyrlige dimensioner.”

Folkemord som funktionærjob. Af John Gray (Information, 27. august 2004). “Hovedarkitekten bag folkemordet på Europas jøder under Anden Verdenskrig, Adolf Eichmann, var langt fra en utilpasset vred type, der blev nazist. Han var tværtimod en ambitiøs borgerlig, der var typisk for sin samtid. Nyt portræt af Eichmann holder liv i debatten om filosoffen Hannah Arendts analyse af af ondskaben og folkemordet.”

The grossly misunderstood ‘Banality of Evil’ theory (Haaretz, 12 October 2016). “Anyone who reads Hannah Arendt’s writings – which offer numerous insights about the banality of evil, even when she doesn’t use the term directly – cannot take seriously the propositions ascribed to her by sociologist Eva Illouz.”

Misreading ‘Eichmann in Jerusalem’. By Roger Berkowitz (The New York Times, July 7, 2013). “The insight of ‘Eichmann in Jerusalem’ is not that Eichmann was just following orders, but that Eichmann was a ‘joiner’.”

Postwar German government and CIA shielded Adolf Eichmann. By Dietmar Henning (World Socialist Web Site, 3 July 2006). “The documents published by the CIA make clear that both the German and American governments had shielded Eichmann for a long time in order to protect the Nazi elements whom they were deploying against the Soviet Union in the ‘Cold War’.”

Hannah Arendt against the facts. By Gertrude Ezorsky (New Politics, Vol.2, No.4, 1963). “Miss Arendt’s tale that Eichmann was without fanatical hatred of Jews seemed initially implausible and turns out to be plainly false.”

Articles:

Sylvia Pankhurst was one of Britain’s great revolutionaries. By Tony Collins (Jacobin, November 10, 2024). “Repeatedly imprisoned for the cause, Sylvia Pankhurst was one of the leading figures in the struggle for women’s suffrage in Britain. What many don’t know is that Pankhurst also played an important role in the early history of British communism.”

The political creativity of Sylvia Pankhurst. By Martha Sonnenberg (New Politics/Blog, October 2, 2021). Review of Barbara Winslow, Sylvia Pankhurst: Sexual Politics and Political Activism (Verso Press, 2021, 272 p.;  first edition 1996). “Winslow’s book is important in its revelation of Pankhurst’s significant contributions to the integration of socialism and feminism using tactics that encouraged the self-activity of working women.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: Natural Born Rebel. By Kathrine Connelly (Counterfire, September 17, 2020). “Rachel Holmes’ monumental biography of Sylvia Pankhurst [Bloomsbury, 2020, 976 p.] succeeds in capturing her energy and brilliance, and the relevance of her causes for today.”

A Suffragette in America. By Lindsay German (Counterfire, June 6, 2019). Review of E.  Sylvia Pankhurst, A Suffragette in America: Reflections on Prisoners, Pickets and Political Change, ed. and introduction by Katherine Connelly (Pluto Press, 2019, 224 p.). “Katherine Connelly’s edition of previously unpublished writing by Sylvia Pankhurst shows her deepening socialist politics.”

Sylvia Pankhurst and the working class suffragettes (Counterfire, March 8, 2018). “Jacqueline Mulhallen reflects on the radicals who helped reshape global democracy.”

Suffragette who opposed World War One (Socialist Review, Issue 395, October 2014). “When the First World War broke out leaders of the suffragette movement, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, supported the slaughter. But as Laura Miles and Sheila Hemingway show, Sylvia Pankhurst not only opposed the war but supported strikes and became a revolutionary socialist.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: Suffragette, Socialist and Scourge of Empire. By Jacqueline Mulhallen (Counterfire, 24 October 2013). Review of Katherine Connelly’s book (Pluto, 2013, 178 p.). “The importance and coherence of Sylvia Pankhurst’s lifelong activism is revealed by Katherine Connelly’s grasp of her political commitments, making this book an important new account her life.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: demanding liberation (Socialist Worker, Issue 2025, 4 November 2006). “Lindsey German looks at how Sylvia Pankhurst saw the fight for women’s liberation as a struggle for the whole working class.”

Sylvia Pankhurst and democracy. By Susan Carlyle and Sean Matgamna (Workers Liberty, 2/1, September 2001). “Sylvia’s political concern remained centrally, though not exclusively, focused on problems of democracy. Her first words at the outbreak of war had commented on the practical emptiness of the democracy of the parliamentary system.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: An organiser for working class women. By Jill Mountford (Workers Liberty, Issue 58, October 1998). “Unlike her mother and sister, Sylvia had not deserted her socialist roots. Instead, her beliefs had become firmer, more developed and more determined over the years.”

Sylvia Pankhurst. Chapter in Tony Cliff: Class Struggle and Women’s Liberation (Bookmarks, 1984, p.125-132). “The only Pankhurst who remained active in the Labour movement was Sylvia, who made a significant contribution to working-class struggles in the East End of London.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: Suffragette and class fighter. By Jen Pickard (In Defence of Marxism, May 1982). “The life of Sylvia Pankhurst is rich in experience for all activists in the labour movement. The names of the Pankhurst family are synonymous with the struggle to win the vote for women, but what distinguished Sylvia Pankhurst’s approach from that of her mother Emmeline and her sister Christabel were class issues.”

Sylvia Pankhurst: Pioneer of working class feminism. By David Widgery (Radical America, Vol.13, No.3, May-June 1979, p.23-38). “Sylvia Pankhurst’s political progress took her from the drawing rooms of 19th century Manchester radicalism to the cramped streets of East London in the First World War, from suffrage to revolutionary socialism, from the circle of William Morris and Keir Hardie to polemics with Lenin and Gramsci.”

Building a mass movement: lessons from the suffragettes. By Katherine Connely (Counterfire, 7 March 2012). “In 1912 two very different policies fought for dominance in the suffragette movement. Sylvia Pankhurst’s defence of mass protest is still relevant today.”
