Not long after co-authoring The Port Huron Statement, the charter document of sixties activism, Tom Hayden completed, at the University of Michigan, an intellectual biography of eminent scholar C. Wright Mills. It is published here for the first time, along with newly written essays by Hayden and by prominent social theorists who are experts on Mills and his ongoing influence today. Hayden cogently traces Mills scholarship and his progressive activism to the events and thinkers of earlier generations. Ideas in major books by Mills (The Power Elite, New Men of Power, White Collar, Character and Social Structure, The Sociological Imagination) can now be better understood in light of the influences of Mills during and before his time, including the impact of two world wars, the Great Depression and the New Deal, the failures of the Soviet state, and changing relations between workers and industry in America and worldwide. The book thus brings us a new and much more complete understanding Millss political theories and philosophy. With only one previous biography of Mills in print, this book is a major contribution to our understanding of C. Wright Mills in American intellectual life.

and the New Left

T OM HAYDEN WROTE HIS M.A. THESIS WHILE HE WAS INtensely engaged in the leadership of the early sixties New Left. He wrote it after returning to graduate school in Ann Arbor, having graduated from Michigan in 1961.
Hayden, at age twenty-two, was already a prime mover in the creation of the sixties. In the summer of 1960, as the newly appointed editor in chief of the Michigan Daily, he traveled to California to witness the emerging student movement in Berkeley, the beginnings of farmworker organizing in the California fi elds, and the nomination of JFK at the Democratic convention in LA (where he interviewed Martin Luther King as he picketed the convention arena). In his year as student editor, Hayden traveled in the South, documenting and helping the rising southern student movement. He wrote long, prescient articles describing and helping define what he saw as an authentic new student movement.
After graduating, Hayden decided to commit himself to that movement as an activist and as a writer. He traveled in the South, getting to know the young civil rights leadership, getting beaten in Mississippi, getting married to an eloquent and beautiful white Texas civil rights activist, Sandra Cason (Casey). At the same time, he agreed to join Al Haber and other Ann Arborites to help launch Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a national organization aimed at fostering the new movement. His first big job for SDS was to draft a manifesto to be debated at the SDS founding meeting at Port Huron, Michigan, in June. The Port Huron Statement is acknowledged to be the foundational document of the New Left in the United States.
Hayden was elected SDS president at that Port Huron meeting and decided to come back to Ann Arbor with Casey Hayden to establish an SDS office there, while enrolling in the political science graduate program. I dont know whether any of the political science faculty had reservations about Haydens capacity to complete an M.A. while indefatigably organizing, traveling, speaking, and writing on behalf of the movement. I imagine that any reservations were balanced by the obvious fact that this twenty-two-year-old was so brilliant, so intense, and so promising that he deserved to be supported. The book-length masters thesis that he produced certainly validated the decision to admit him.1
We need to read the work in its historical context in order to understand Haydens angle of vision. It was being composed in the heat of the southern movement and while its author was actively engaged in efforts to inspire a burgeoning white student movement that would extend the potentials of the southern student uprising. It was a time when established understandings about the stability of the social order were crumblingand when socially conscious young people were feeling hope about both the social future and their own potential for affecting it.
Keep in mind as well that this essay was written before the major shaping events that now define the sixties for us: before the Berkeley free speech movement (or any other sign of the possibility that masses of white students would take action), before Vietnam, before the ghetto uprisings. It captures reflections appropriate to a particular moment in a time of tumultuous change. Given that, I was surprised, in rereading it, by how valuable it continues to be forty years later.
Millss New Left
C. Wright Mills was hungry for a new Left long before the sixties. By the 1950s, he was openly, angrily critical of the old Leftnot just the Marxist/Trotskyist sectarian Left that many of his generation disdained, but the broader liberal Left that he saw as exhausted programmatically and accommodating to the cold war consensus in many ways. In pamphlets and articles written in the late 1950s, we see him arguing for organized and strategic dissent based on new social understandings, language, and agency. More than any other figure in the U.S. political/intellectual scene, he was trying, in the peak cold war time, to foster the possibility for a new Left not only by seeking it but by trying to constitute its intellectual foundations.
