AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

At U/Mass-Boston-Diplomacy, Domestic Politics and the Fate of South Vietnam-Nov 8

Diplomacy, Domestic Politics and the Fate of South Vietnam

The Joiner Speaker Series presents

SEAN FEAR

Sean's talk will explore the unheralded showdown between Saigon's military junta, and civil society groups including journalists, students and religious and ethnic minority groups.

Join us as Sean Fear challenges conventional views of the Cold War as a bipolar clash between great powers and their proxies.

Sean Fear is a lecturer in Modern International History at the University of Leeds. He holds a Ph.D in History from Cornell University. His research focuses on U.S. - South Vietnamese relations, and the impact of domestic politics and transnational relations on diplomacy. He has conducted research at several archives in the United States and Vietnam, drawing heavily on Vietnamese-language official records and print media.
