Abstract

A New Student Left: Beyond the Fragments
Borgo, Vania Del | March 26, 1988 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the student left movement in new perspective and analyses the causes of its debacle. Reports of the student left's death have been greatly exaggerated. In the past few years students have grappled with racial violence, sexism and homophobia in their communities. While coalitions have formed and dissolved and some students have involved themselves in larger initiatives like the Rainbow Coalition, most organizing has remained local and fragmented. Economic hardship and the shrinking labor market have made young people less willing to take risks. There has been no major mobilization like the civil rights movement to unite the left.
