This page has been viewed 13351 times | | The monthly magazine "Liberation" was founded, published, and edited by David Dellinger from 1956-1975 out of New York. In the 1970s it became increasingly "collectivized," and by 1977 was edited by Jan Edwards and Michael Nill out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Once Dellinger was gone, it went the way of most left publications of that era and concentrated on the personal as political.
We lost track after 1977, but presume that it folded not long thereafter. For many years, though, "Liberation" was a thoughtful and provocative addition to the pacifist left. In addition to occasional theoretical pieces, it was also strong on investigative journalism. In early 1965, for example, it ran long articles by Vincent Salandria challenging the conclusions of the Warren Commission, and in 1975 it published an important article by Fred Landis on psychological warfare by the CIA in Chile.

| Suggested Reading My Hippie Grandmother
by Reeve Lindbergh, Abby Carter (Illustrator)
This clever, beautifully illustrated, rhyming book is perfect to read to young children. With catchy lines like: "I have a Hippie Grandmother/I'm so glad she's mine/She hasn't cut her hair since 1969." it's a hit not just with the kids but the hip generation as well. A great way to bond across the decades and to pass on some of our values to our next generation. |
