	Surrealist Subversions: Foreword (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Even more importantly, Sakolsky never forgets--and in his writings, never lets the reader forget--that the purpose of social revolution is not just to seize the means of production and to smash the state, but to create the conditions for new ways of life in which freedom, play and pleasure will supersede slavery, work and misery.
		In Sakolsky's case, it is surely his passion for such protosurrealist and objectively surrealist creators as Blake, Fourier, Lindsay (in his wilder moments), Angela Carter, Thelonious Monk, Joseph Jarman and Henry Threadgill that have made him feel right at home in surrealism's garden of earthly delights.
		Sakolsky's anthology thus supersedes the narrow and tiresome literary/artistic categorizations to which surrealism is usually assigned by critics, and situates it in the much broader context that surrealists themselves have always preferred: the revolutionary context.

		Ron Sakolsky, who teaches world cultures at the school, organized the event as a way to break down barriers and open up to new people.

		Sakolsky said he expected maybe two-thirds of the student body to participate; a number of youngsters during yesterday's first-period lunch, though typically short on words, seemed to be enjoying the idea.

	Gone to Croatan: Anarchism and Surrealism.
		Class war veteran Ron Sakolsky has always been a fearless pathfinder in the wilds of revolutionary culture and cultural revolution.
		Sakolsky's projects seem inspired by the idea that positions of heterodoxy and autonomy are the best revenge against a world violently dominated by the mediocrity and fundamentalism of reactionaries.
		As explored in Sakolsky's collection, that connection is more fundamental for surrealists in the U.S. since they have a special affinity with the dreams and dynamite of the I.W.W.'s revolutionary unionism, an influence that becomes obvious in the surrealists' celebration of the "Chicago Idea" legacy.

	ZA@PLAY - MUSIC: The sound of tills ringing 20/08/98
		Professor Ron Sakolsky, an academic from the University of Illinois, Springfield, is very critical of the term “world music”.
		Sakolsky also takes issue with the notion that it’s possible to get to the roots of a music tradition and find an unblemished original source.
		Folk music is never pure, it is not outside of time but has a living continuity.” We should think of traditional as “in the tradition, connected to the past, a place to create from”.

	Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society: Golden Book of Springfield, The
		Recently reissued, with a lengthy introduction by Ron Sakolsky, it is an odd and idiosyncratic book, reflecting the eccentricities of its author.
		Thus he captures the heteroglossia of a time when the left wing of Progressivism merged with the socialist, social gospel, and feminist movements, and the residual influence of nineteenth-century political movements - from Lincoln's republicanism, transcendentalism, and abolitionism to populism and Henry George's single-tax plan - still carried meaning in American political discourse.
		27) Though perhaps incoherent ideologically, Sakolsky argues that this diversity of influence served its fundamental purpose, writing that Lindsay "is not a proselytizer for a particular utopian blueprint, but an advocate of utopian thinking per se." (p.

	A few months ago I posted an article about "Surrealism, Freud and Trotsky" (http://www
		I refer to "Surrealist Subversions: Rants, Writings and Images by the Surrealist Movement in the United States." Edited and introduced by Ron Sakolsky, this volume contains articles that originally appeared in the journal of Rosemont's Chicago Surrealist Group titled "Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion," and kindred publications.
		Ron Sakolsky's introduction does a fine job of identifying both the importance of Franklin Rosemont in keeping the surrealist tradition alive and the particular circumstances of his conversion to this radical cultural movement that will be instantly recognizable to anybody from the generation of baby boomers who rejected everything that American consumerism stood for.
		Born in 1944, Franklin Rosemont had two parents who would obviously be a counterforce against any tendency to drift into the kind of narcissistic estheticism that characterized the worst of European surrealism.

		It's no wonder that it took so long for the first indigenous group in the US to arrive and start cleaning up the mess left by art critics and idiots.
		In his introduction, anthologist Ron Sakolsky gives us a comprehensive overview of that first groups' development, from the Roosevelt University Anti-Poetry Club and RU Wobblies, the Rosemont's meeting with Andre Breton and their months-long participation in the Paris Surrealist Group, through the infamous Gallery Bugs Bunny and Gallery Black Swan on up to the present.
		Sakolsky illustrates how the Chicago Surrealist Group and its affiliates from coast to coast who compose the larger Surrealist Movement in the US have always had an organic, reciprocal relationship with not only workers' struggles and the anarchist movement but also a wide variety of heretical and libratory currents.
