Subject: NYC-NJ forum on the history of the student movement
Students in the New York-New Jersey area might be interested
in attending this forum comparing the student movements from the
Vietnam War era and today. Professor Foley was an anti-war and
anti-racist activist herself in the '60's, and has written some great
books and articles. She's a dynamic and interesting speaker.

Student Movements Then and Now:
From the Worker-Student Alliance to the Living Wage
Barbara Foley
Barbara Foley will offer a marxist commentary on the potentialities
and limitations of current campus activism around sweatshop, prison
labor, and living wage issues. Her own activism with the
worker-student alliance activism of the late 1960s and early
1970s--specifically in SDS--will serve as a point of reference.
Foley, a professor of English at Rutgers University and a long-time
activist, is currently a member of the Steering committee of the
Radical Caucus of the Modern Language Association and Chair of the
Combatting Racism Task Force of NOW-NJ. She has written on U.S.
proletarian literature and African-American writers and the left.
