Green, Philip | April 7, 1984 issue

add to cart   close window

"What sort of movement is U.S. presidential candidate Jesse Jackson leading?" journalist Paul Berman asks in an article published in the April 7, 1984 issue of the journal "The Nation," about racial remarks made by Jackson against Jews. Not a "traditional left-wing movement," he decides, but a kind of populist and potentially right-wing movement of the oppressed. The author finds Berman's distinction baffling, unless by traditional left-wing movement Berman means the kind of sectarian socialist parties that have never got anywhere in American politics.
