Was thinking about this intellectual period last night. I don’t know a lot but I get the vague impression of it being too much on the revisionist side for my taste, although the label New Left is so broad that I’m sure there’s a huge span of thought that it gets applied to.
What theory still holds up from that time, what theorists do you agree/disagree with, what texts would you recommend to people who want to understand more about this time, t’s origins,links to the French 1968 movement ,etc?
New Left is kinda anti-communist but has lots of very leftist ideas, if that makes sense to you.
