Class, Culture and Public Intellectuals: A themed issue of Reconstruction

The year 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of Michael Denning's The
Cultural Front and the 20th anniversary of Alan Wald's The New York
Intellectuals. Both of these publishing milestones raise important
questions about the historical relationship between U.S. intellectuals
and mass culture, radical left politics and academic scholarship, and
the relationship between cultural production and social conflict,
topics which remain of pressing concern today.
