Portræt af voldens ideologi. Af Bjarne Andersen (Arbejderen.dk, 2. februar 2011). “Hammett skrev bøger om rå vold og udnyttelse, små og store skurke, stærke mænd og smukke damer. Selv var han kommunist, anti-fascist og offer for McCarthys udrensning.”
San Francisco har en aura af mord og mystik. Af Bo Tao Michäelis (Politiken.dk, 17. juli 2010). “San Francisco – Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammets og Dan Turèlls storby noir.”
Dashiell Hammett (The Social Science Collective, 14 December 2020). “Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) has long been considered the most important writer of hard-boiled fiction. Not only did he give the genre its hallmarks in his short stories, but he also wrote three of its masterpieces in his novels. He was recognized immediately for lifting a previously disreputable style of fiction into literary prominence.”
Dashiell Hammett: Hardboiled writer, communist fighter. By Mick Whale (Socialism Today, Issue 151, September 2011). “Hammett was also an anti-fascist activist and a member of the Communist Party of America. He went to jail rather than hand over evidence that could have been used against other activists during the anti-communist witch-hunt led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.”
Dashiell Hammett lecture. By Joan Mellen (Joanmellen.com). Dashiell Hammett Lecture, March 5, 2009: “As profoundly as he was a brilliant author, so, simultaneously, was he a political man. From those days when he met socialists on the Baltimore wharves, he had been politically committed.”
Toast to Dash. By Jean-Patrick Manchette (Le Matin, August 16, 1980; online at Marxists Internet Archive). “He is universally recognized as the founder of the American roman noir and the best representative of the genre. Which makes him the best novelist in the world since 1920, and I can prove it.”
Writers reviewed: Dashiell Hammett. By Paul Cunningham (Socialist Review, Issue 446, May 2019). First published in Socialist Review, May 1979: “… the novels remain worthwhile, for the lean, clear quality of Hammett’s writing as he captures the feel of urban life. Hammett’s cities are a miniature of capitalism itself, the gaudy surface hiding misery, oppression and violence.”

Eighty years since John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon. By David Walsh World Socialist Web Site, 1 February 2021). “Huston’s The Maltese Falcon is concisely and confidently realized, with almost no wasted words or movements. Hammett was a left-wing writer (eventually jailed during the anti-communist witch-hunts), of the hardboiled school.”
Two invented lives. By Phyllis Jacobson (New Politics, No. 23, Summer 1997). Review of Joan Mellen, Hellman and Hammett (New York, HarperCollins, 1996, 572 p.). “Joan Mellen’s exceptional biography, written from a left viewpoint, chronicles not only the tempestuous relationship of Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett but their love affair with Stalinism, as well.”

Congo: Myth-Busting: Dag Hammarskjöld, Katanga, and the coup against the Lumumba government. By Ludo De Witte (Europe Solidaire Sans Frontieres, 8 February 2024). “A terrible myth has developed around the UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld, who died in a plane crash in 1961. Ludo De Witte explains that the UN chief was one of the architects of the Congo crisis that led to the removal and murder of the country’s first leader, Patrice Lumumba. De Witte reveals the true role of the UN, and Hammarskjöld, in the imperialist catastrophe that savaged the Congo in 1960.”

Why they killed Patrice Lumumba. By Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja (Jacobin, January 17, 2020). “Patrice Lumumba was a radical leader of the Congolese independence movement who resisted Belgian colonialism and corporate interests. That’s why he was assassinated in a US-backed coup 59 years ago today.”
Patrice Lumumba (1925–1961). By Sean Jacobs (Jacobin, January 17, 2017). “Lumumba’s short political life — as with figures like Thomas Sankara and Steve Biko, who had equally short lives — is still a touchstone for debates about what is politically possible in postcolonial Africa, the role of charismatic leaders, and the fate of progressive politics elsewhere.”
Patrice Lumumba and the unfinished business of liberation (Review of African Political Economy, January 15, 2021). “In this celebration of his life and work, the Congolese scholar and activist, Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, writes about the All-African People’s Conference (AAPC) that Lumumba attended in 1958, and the years of his leadership of the nationalist movement before his murder.”

Review of Ruth Fischer, Stalin and German Communism (Harvard University Press, 1948, 687 p.). “Fischer’s book can be characterized succinctly as an interesting personal document, valuable for historical research, but lending itself to diverse interpretations, at best to confusion and at worst to manipulations in the current ideological campaigns against Marxism.”

The Jackson Freedom Ride. By Fred Halstead (International Socialist Review, Vol.23, No.2, Spring 1962). “So what was the Jackson Freedom Ride and Jail-in? For the South, it was an event out of which a new cadre of young and militant Negro leaders took the initiative. For the country as a whole, it was a school and a convention for a part of the vanguard of the new generation of American youth, which will not be a silent or a frightened one.”

Sixty years since the massacre of Algerians in Paris on October 17, 1961. By Alex Lantier (World Socialist Web Site, 17 October 2021). “Sixty years ago, shortly before the end of the Algerian war and Algeria’s independence from France in 1962, French police perpetrated a horrific racist massacre in Paris.” See also: Maurice Papon and the October 1961 massacre of Paris [1999] (Ibid.).
On this day in 1961, French police murdered dozens of pro-independence Algerians (Jacobin, October 17, 2021). “The following eyewitness account of the massacre comes from Henri and Clara Benoits, two left-wing activists who the FLN had asked to act as observers that day because of their solidarity with the Algerian movement. This extract is taken from their joint autobiography L’Algérie au cæur [“Algeria in Our Hearts”] (2014).
17 October 1961: Massacre in Paris (Socialist Worker, Issue 2273, 15 October 2011). “Historian Jean-Luc Einaudi exposed the murders in his book The Battle of Paris. He spoke to Sellouma from France’s New Anticapitalist Party.” See also: Eyewitnesses to the 1961 Paris massacre (Ibid.).
Paris 1961: “Här dränker man algerier” (Motbilder, 22. maj 2009; online på Internet Archive). “En familj jag känner berättade för mig en gång om hur en av deras franska bekanta besökte dem på 60-talet. Han berättade om hur han sett mängder av lik flyta förbi i floden Seine, mitt i Paris.”
