    Hi,
    Along with Paul Buhle, I've co-edited a book called "The New Left
    Re-Examined," which (fingers crossed) is coming out next fall from Temple
    University Press. Briefly, this is a collection of revisionist
    essays on the New Left, written by scholars who are too young to have had
    any first-hand experience with the movement. They come from a variety of
    perspectives, but most of them dissent, in some fashion, from the current
    orthodoxy of historical writing on the New Left. The Table of Contents is
    listed below.

    Anyhow, I'm writing this listserve because Temple wants the names and
    addresses of of professors who teach courses on the Sixites, or on American
    Radicalism, who might be interested in assigning such a book - presumably to
    send them examination copies. So if anyone fits this description, please feel
    free to send me a private email and I'll put you on the list!

    Many thanks,

    John
