A strong grip on the American New Left reading of Marx in the 1960s

 The 1960's Proyect

American Marxists have been either immigrants or refugees, such as John Keracher, Abraham Heller, Paul Baran. Hartman does not mention Louis Althusser even once, though the French Marxist had vast influence on the American New Left reading of Marx in the 1960s. Marcuse is emphasized but not Adorno. Most egregiously, there is an extended discussion of Ward Churchill and a 1983 volume he edited, Marxism and Native Americans, meant to establish the relationship between radical politics and indigenous peoples.
