abstract="This essay examines the collective memory of Liberation News Service co-founder Marshall Bloom. A minor yet influential figure in the constellation of American New Leftists, Bloom played active roles in the civil rights, antiwar, and student movements, the underground media, and the communal counterculture. In the 40 years since Bloom's 1969 suicide, commentators have attached a medley of meanings to his life and death, casting him as a misguided counterculture narcissist, a Movement martyr, a closeted homosexual, and a revolutionary organic farmer. This essay explores these representations of Bloom to illustrate how they constitute a collective memory that is as variable as Bloom and the Sixties were complex. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
