Book Description
Domestic Subversive: A Feminist’s Take on the Left 1960-1976 is an intimate, riveting memoir about the making of a political radical during the upheaval of the 1960s. It is both a personal journey and an inside look at political movements that changed the world. We see Salper first in fascist Spain, next in the heart of the New Left, the early Women’s Liberation Movement, and the founding of Women’s Studies. Finally she is engaged in third world liberation struggles in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Chile and the United States. As a Harvard-educated scholar, Roberta Salper was destined for a distinguished academic career. Instead she opted for a life of risk-taking, personally as well as professionally. Salper offers a unique look at marriage and family life within Spain’s fascist dictatorship before she decides to “go it alone” and in 1974 becomes a rare example of the single professional mother. Salper’s relentless search to define herself personally and politically is propelled by having experienced anti-Semitism in American suburban life in the 1950s. She sets out to explore the multiple meanings and functions of “outsider” and “insider” within her immediate social circles and in the greater political arena. What does it mean “to belong”? Roberta Salper became one of the pioneers of a new field of study that would be known as Women’s Studies. The tools of feminism were honed in the Women’s Caucus of the New University Conference (1968 to 1972). This until now little-studied socialist organization has had an impact on higher education that continues to be felt to this day. In 1970, she was the first full time faculty appointment in Women’s Studies in the first full-fledged Women’s Studies Department in the nation at San Diego State College (now University). Salper was part of the first generation of Second Wave feminists to recognize that, as educated women, their time had come. Doors were opening and they moved to take advantage of the moment.

Book Description
From 1989 to 1992, all of the socialist dictatorships in Europe (including the Soviet Union) collapsed, as did the Soviet bloc. Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia dismembered, and the Cold War international order came to an abrupt end. Based on a series of controlled comparisons among regimes and states, Valerie Bunce argues in this book that two factors account for these remarkable developments: the institutional design of socialism as a regime, a state, and a bloc, and the rapid expansion during the 1980s of opportunities for domestic and international change. When combined, institutions and opportunities explain not just when, how, and why these regimes and states disintegrated, but also some of the most puzzling features of these developments - why, for example, the collapse of socialism was largely peaceful and why Yugoslavia, but not the Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia, disintegrated through war.

Book Description
"Electrifying."—The New York Times Book Review "Encyclopedic and compelling."—The New Yorker A New York Times Bestseller A Christian Science Monitor Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year Winner of the PEN Center USA Book Award Winner of the Ridenhour Book Prize Winner of the Society of Professional Journalists' Sunshine Award Winner of Before Columbus Foundations's American Book Award Subversives traces the FBI's secret involvement with three iconic figures who clashed at Berkeley during the 1960s: the ambitious neophyte politician Ronald Reagan, the fierce but fragile radical Mario Savio, and the liberal university president Clark Kerr. Through these converging narratives, the award-winning investigative reporter Seth Rosenfeld tells a dramatic and disturbing story of FBI surveillance, illegal break-ins, infiltration, planted news stories, poison-pen letters, and secret detention lists all centered on the nation's leading public university. Rosenfeld vividly evokes the campus counterculture, as he reveals how the FBI's covert operations—led by Reagan's friend J. Edgar Hoover—helped ignite an era of protest, undermine the Democrats, and benefit Reagan personally and politically. The FBI spent more than $1 million trying to block the release of the secret files on which Subversives is based, but Rosenfeld compelled the bureau to reveal more than 300,000 pages, providing an extraordinary view of what the government was up to during a turning point in our nation. Part history, part biography, and part police procedural, Subversives reads like a true-crime mystery as it provides a fresh look at the legacy of the 1960s, sheds new light on one of America's most popular presidents, and tells a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked secrecy and power.
