Dissent magazine  

Definition

  • Perhaps the most important voice of social democratic thought in the United States, Dissent was the brainchild of Irving Howe, Stanley Plastrik, and Manny Geltman. First published in 1954, Dissent sought to provide an option between conventional liberal journals and the more doctrinaire, and outdated, organs of the old intellectual Left.
