Stephen Bronner, The New Left as a Socio-cultural Experiment
« Reconstituting the Experiment : Political Culture and the American New Left » explores the Zeitgeist of the sixties in the United States as well as that change in organizational style and radical purpose which separated the « New » from the « Old » Left. With the emphasis on a new sensibility, and the concerns of previously excluded groups rather than workers, the attempt to alter institutions gave way to an enterprise which sought to radical and qualitatively transform everyday life. It was this which provided the movement with its « experimental » quality and also what makes it possible to speak of a shift from the traditional notion of political revolt to a broader conception of cultural resistance. The point behind this article is to analyze the contradictions which this « experiment » engendered from a critical perspective. Thus, the present attempt to confront the limits and mistakes of the sixties no less than the relevance of the movement's unfulfilled emancipatory promise for a new radicalism appropriate to a new age.
