Russell Jacoby, The Last Intellectuals
In the 1930s, 40s, and even 50s, intellectuals, and more particularly Leftist intellectuals, were generaly not academics, or if they were they were marginal to the University and still defined themselves, like their journalist and free-lance writer brethern, as independant, « public » authors, that is, authors who addressed themselves to a broad, educated public. Starting in the 1960s, however, with the end of McCarthyism and following the development of the New Left, for the first time a large number of Leftists and Marxists entered the universities. While they strongly influenced their disciplines and won a definite respectability for Leftist and Marxist modes of analysis, the constraints of the Academy at the same time adulterated the Leftist perspective. Marxist academics, seeking security and recognition within the University, followed the rules of the academic game, producing works marked by the dominant discourse and accessible only to other specialists.
