Liberation was a 20th-century pacifist journal published 1956 through 1977 in the United States. A bimonthly and later a monthly, the magazine identified in the 1960s with the New Left.[1]
Liberation occasionally ran investigative pieces. In early 1965, the magazine ran long articles by Vincent Salandria challenging the conclusions of the Warren Commission. In 1975 it published an article by Fred Landis on psychological warfare by the CIA in Chile.
A poem by Louis Ginsberg, father of Allen Ginsberg, was published in the magazine.[14] Children's book author Vera Williams made the artwork for many of the covers.[15]
By 1977 the magazine was edited by Jan Edwards and Michael Nill out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It ceased publication not long after the departure of Dellinger.
Seeds of Liberation, a collection of Liberation articles, was edited by Paul Goodman and published in 1965.[16][17]
Legacyedit
Liberation, together with Dissent, anticipated changes in the 1950s American political left, such as the early civil rights movement and nonviolent protest.[18]
