Abstract Or Scope
Marxist Perspectives was an academic journal that analyzed society and history using a Marxist intellectual framework and featured the work of prominent left-wing academics and thinkers. The collection includes a full run of the journal (1978-1980), correspondence, annotated articles, documentation regarding fundraising, the journal's internal newsletter, and media coverage from other publications. The correspondence documents debates about articles, editorial decisions, submissions, funding, and organizational structure. The collection also contains materials documenting the earlier activism of collaborators, including documentation of the Committee on Free Speech which defended Rutgers University professor Eugene Genovese (later the editor of Marxist Perspectives) after he made controversial statements about the Viet Nam War.
