Radical America was a left-wing political magazine in the United States established in 1967. The magazine was founded by Paul Buhle and Mari Jo Buhle, activists in Students for a Democratic Society and served during its first few years of existence as an unofficial theoretical journal of that organization. Dan Georgakas wrote that its importance lay in that it "was on the scholarly cutting edge of a social movement that often has been accused of lacking intellectual substance. During the 1970s and 1980s, the magazine changed to take on more of an academic Marxist flavor. The journal focused on topical issues of concern to the left and society at large, such as women's liberation, working class radicalism and busing. Beginning in 1970, each issue had a dedicated focus upon one issue. Mainly, during the 1970s, the journal evolved in a direction concerned with New Left issues, rather than traditional, Old Left concern with strengthening ties with trade unions. It was particularly active in the 1970s, as authors related the experiences of feminist and autonomous workplace activists. By the 1980s the journal branched to addressing gay issues and rock music. Information indicates that there was perhaps an average monthly printing of only about 4000 copies, most of which were quickly lost/discarded. With contributions from academics dwindling during the decade of the 1990s, the magazine was terminated in 1999. Presumed First Edition, First printing of this Double Issue.…
