Collins, Marcus. "The Beatles’ Politics." The British Journal of Politics & International Relations (2012): N/a. University of Maryland Libraries. Web. 7 Apr. 2015. <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/>.
Perhaps the most interesting source I read for this project, It draws parallels between the artistic work of the Beatles, and its politicization. This resource was valuable to the creation of my “Beatles Politics” page, and is worth reading to learn more about how music became politicized in the 1960’s, and how the Beatles essentially changed the political nature of pop music eternally. If you hope to understand the perplexing story of the Beatles and their politics, I would recommend this source and all of its references.
Dionne, E.J. "Describing Liberalism." The New York Times 1 Nov. 1988. The New York Times. Web. 7 Apr. 2015. <http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/lnacademic/?>.
In politics today, the world “Liberal” is thrown around the way Derek Jeter throws a baseball. Over the course of political history, the term “Liberal” and “Liberalism” have changed meaning so often that people (myself included) often do not know the true definition of liberalism. This article takes the reader through all of the classical definitions of what it means to be liberal, and classical liberalism, and offers a contemporary definition of not only liberalism, but also what it means to be a liberal through analysis of resent liberal policy and political developments.
Geary, Daniel. "Children Of The Lonely Crowd: David Riesman, The Young Radicals, And The Splitting Of Liberalism In The 1960S." Modern Intellectual History (2013): 603-33. University of Maryland Libraries. Web. 7 Apr. 2015. <http://journals.cambridge.org/>.
One of the more confusing developments of postwar liberalism is in fact the sudden and rapid decline of liberalism. This source is beneficial because the author, Daniel Geary, offers analysis as to why this may have happened through his own review of Children of the Lonely Crowd. Although I personally did not use this source a great deal in the crafting of this website, I feel the story it tells is one of merit and should very much be read by an individual seeking to know more about liberalisms tumble in the late 1960’s.
Lowe, Nancy. "Enduring Liberalism: American Political Thought Since the 1960s." American Political Science Review 95.4 (2001): 977-78. University of Maryland Libraries. Web. 6 Apr. 2015. <http://www.jstor.org/stable/3117729>.
Short, sweet, and too the point, this scholarly source is actually a book review, but still offers valuable insight to the political legacy the 1960’s have left. I want to be clear, because it is a book review and some would question its scholarly appeal; the article comes from a peer reviewed academic journal and is written by a Penn State University faculty member. Absolutely academically sound and worthy of our time. Lowe provides a wonderful analysis of political thought both in the 60’s and in the decades since the 1960’s in just two pages. A quick and informative read for those seeking further information regarding the legacy.
Mittelstadt, Jennifer. “Philanthropy, Feminism, And Left Liberalism, 1960–1985.” Journal of Women’s History 20.4 (2008): 105-31. University of Maryland Libraries. Web. 7 Apr. 2015. <http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_womens_history/>.
This source is wonderful because it actually begins by incorporating the story of one of LBJ’s Great Society programs. The Head Start Program was one of President Johnson’s great society programs to give all young children access to early education. The source tells the story of one Head Start program in rural Mississippi, and the encounters of the women who work at it. A comprehensive look at the women’s movement is provided through reflection on this Head Start program, and analysis is offered as to evaluate the successfulness of this Great Society program. A scholarly article which incorporates liberalism, the women’s movement, and the Great society is surely one not to miss in learning about the political legacy of the 1960’s.
