  New Left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "New Left" was an intellectually driven movement which attempted to correct the perceived errors of "Old Left" parties in the post-WWII period.
The New Left opposed the prevailing authority structures in society, which it termed "The Establishment," and those who rejected this authority became known as "anti-Establishment." The New Left avoided recruiting industrial workers, and concentrated on a social activist approach to organizing.
Loosely associated with the New Left was the Berkeley Free Speech Movement which began in 1964 as a coalition of student groups opposing restrictions to leftist political activity on campus.

 New Left Review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1960 in the UK, the editors of the New Reasoner and the Universities and Left Review merged their boards and formed the New Left Review.
The Universities and Left Review grew out of the Suez crisis in 1956; their journal centred on a rejection of the dominant 'revisionist' orthodoxy within the Labour Party, from a Marxist perspective.
Together they would be at the forefront of the New Left in Britain, with the New Left Review as their theoretical journal.

 Peter Sedgwick: The Two New Lefts (1964)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
NLR was from its inception intended to be ‘both the product of the socialist movement and the point at which this movement is reproduced’ [6]; the trajectory of socialism is, however, by no means that of a merry-go-round in which each specialized hobby-horse rotates into view by turns.
The confederate New Left fell apart in the autumn of 1961; the explosion was characteristically muffled.
The protestations of New Left writers in favour of ‘workers’ control’ rest upon a suspect distinction between the control of wages and the control of conditions, the former being hived off for statized determination, the latter being left for the shop-stewards to practise in ‘encroachment’ at factory level.

 Wayne Hall reviews Perry Anderson's Force and Consent from New Left Review 17 - Spectre Magazine, 7th December, 2002
New Left Review over th e years will be aware of  a drift in the magazine’s political orientations that do not go well with pretensions to be “fighting the system with a coherence not less than its own.” Admittedly Anderson has not always been the editor.
New Left Review’s stance on the Soviet Union  was that  it was one side of a bipolar system  weighing  down  on the lives of both Western and Eastern Europeans.

 The Suicide of New Left Review
The idea of the new is used as a substitute for all other ideas, as a symbolic replacement for any positive identification and as an incantation freeing those who utter it from responsibility before the past and future (and at times, from their consciences as well).
The new editor of NLR writes of this without regret, while remaining completely unashamed of his radical past, just as a prosperous businesswoman is not ashamed of having worn ragged jeans during her student years.
The "new" NLR admits from the outset its character as a thoroughly provincial publication, since such a journal is of interest to no one apart from a few hundred former radicals scattered around god-forsaken American university campuses.

 The New Left and May 1968
At the outset, the New Left was in self-conscious reaction to "Stalinism" and was dominated by the theme of "socialist humanism".
A new grouping, consisting of politically rootless individuals who had had nothing to do with the earlier publications, had formed within the editorial board of Universities and Left Review and, in a remarkably ruthless coup, had abruptly seized control of it.
New Left Review was born, by caesarean section, and with it the New New Left.

 A Brief History of New Left Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The decline of CND by late 1961, however, deprived the New Left of much of its momentum as a movement, and uncertainties and divisions within the Board of the journal led to the transfer of the Review to a younger and less experienced group in 1962.
Politically, unlike much of the left, the Review had no truck with the neo-imperialist or 'humanitarian' interventions of the period, attacking Allied interventions in the Gulf and the Balkans without remission (Robert Brenner and Peter Gowan on the war against Iraq; Tariq Ali, Robin Blackburn, Edward Said and Peter Gowan on the war against Yugoslavia).
Theoretical debates in NLR ranged from the dynamics of ethnic cleansing and the fate of class politics (Michael Mann) to the legacies of historical materialism and deconstruction (Jacques Derrida and Fredric Jameson); the vicissitudes of post-war sociology (Jeffrey Alexander and Pierre Bourdieu) and the return of social evolutionism (W.

In terms of their actions, the British New Left concentrated on the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the hypocrisy of the Soviet Union and allied countries.
The organization that came to embody the New Left was the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
During the late 1960s, the SDS began to split under the strain of internal dissension and increasing penetration by Maoist ideologues, and some extremist splinter factions emerged, such as the Weather Underground and the Progressive Labor Party.

 14 - The new new-left formations, by Lewis Grupper>   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
However, the process of the split in the Communist parties, with the majority forming new socialist or social democratic parties is not limited to the countries of the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe.
Instead of dismissing these new formations as social democratic (the easy cop-out of the sectarian left), the left must get a better grasp Ð certainly an elementary principle of dialectics is the need to examine what is new in the world.
In reviewing the national liberation struggles of the 60s in the light of recent developments, we socialists gave too much weight to the socialist character and not enough to the nationalist aspect.

 Debating Empire (New Left Review Debates) (Gopal Balakrishnan , Stanley Aronowitz)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
I saw them as a collective of mostly orthodox Marxists (besides Balakrishnan and Aronowitz) incapable of seeing the light, divested as they were of the dialectical imagination it takes to notice new political possibilities in the way that the jailed ultraleftist and the young lit.
The left-wing activists I was hanging out with at the time too, who were decidedly old left (albeit Trotskyist), sounded the same, refusing to integrate terms like "informatic production" and "biopolitics" into their outdated political lexicon.
The reviews of Empire in the mainstream press, when it first appeared, were so harsh that few, apart from the 'Seattle left' and jargon savvy postmodernists, ever made contact with it.
