Traditional historiography on the Cultural Revolution, which began to appear as early as 1968, tended to adopt a topdown approach, with focus on the role of Mao Zedong, the party bureaucracy, and the Gang of Four. The traditional approach was largely a response to scantily available CCP documents, as many provincial archives and the central Party archives remained closed or largely inaccessible unless one was a registered member of the CCP. Most historians focused on critiquing the idea of a “cultural revolution” and its implications, while some dwelt on holding Mao particularly responsible for initiating the mayhem and frenzy which characterized the Revolution. In particular, the rise of the Red Guards and the indiscriminate violence they unleashed on anyone who disagreed with or disapproved of Mao Zedong and his thought received much attention, as the sheer magnitude of societal destruction wrought by the Red Guards described the essence of the Cultural Revolution as a tragedy. Consequently, many works focused on the destruction, terror, and havoc that the Cultural Revolution unleashed upon ordinary Chinese civilians, and highlighted the controversially tragic and unjust record of human rights violations during the mayhem.1 While these works were notable for beginning an important scholarly discussion on a subject considered taboo and difficult to approach due to a lack of reliable sources, a breakthrough occurred with the publication of Hong-yung Lee’s The Politics of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Lee’s methodology is original because it","PeriodicalId":143418,"journal":{"name":"Left History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Historical Inquiry and Debate","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131483428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The few scholarly works that mention the Cambridge Union of University Teachers (CUUT)—created in October 1935 by instructors from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—emphasize the union’s orientation toward social issues. An affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, the CUUT never attempted to engage in collective bargaining or to set wages, hours, or other work conditions. But a careful examination of the CUUT’s early history reveals a more complicated legacy. The men, and a few women, who led the union embraced a multifaceted agenda: to link Local 431 to the larger community, including local teachers’ unions and other area labour groups; to support a national popular front social movement; and to secure fair employment and academic freedom for all college/university teachers in Cambridge. This article describes and analyzes the CUUT’s ideology and policies during the years 1935-1941, the union’s most active period, and the obstacles that it encountered both from within its ranks and from the corporatized institutions of higher education.","PeriodicalId":143418,"journal":{"name":"Left History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Historical Inquiry and Debate","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124546093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
