Founded in 1954, Dissent is an American quarterly of political ideas, social criticism, and cultural commentary associated with the democratic socialist intellectual tradition. The journal has served as a forum for writers, scholars, activists, and public figures debating labor, civil rights, economic inequality, democracy, foreign affairs, education, feminism, immigration, and the changing character of American society. Rather than presenting a single editorial viewpoint, Dissent became known for argument and disagreement within the political left, bringing academic thought into conversation with contemporary political and social issues. Individual issues provide a period record of the debates occupying American intellectual and progressive circles at the time of publication. This issue is a multidisciplinary portrait of late twentieth-century New York City examining urban politics, neighborhood change, immigration, race relations, economic inequality, public education, organized labor, architecture, housing, and cultural identity. Essays consider the Koch era, redevelopment and gentrification, Black and Puerto Rican communities, changing immigrant populations, municipal government, working-class life, and the AIDS crisis. Writers including Irving Howe, Marshall Berman, Ada Louise Huxtable, Alfred Kazin, Deborah Meier, Ruth Messinger, Thomas Bender, Philip Kasinitz, Martin Kilson, and Juan Flores approach the city through political commentary, sociology, history, education, architecture, journalism, and cultural criticism. Schwartz, Robert (Cover design) (illustrator).
