DESCRIPTION:Doug Dowd     Blues for America  A farewell lecture  Perennial favorite 
 lecturer, teacher, author and radical political economist, Doug Dowd will 
 soon be moving permanently to Italy. Doug has been a long time friend of 
 Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, presenting lectures and his renowned 
 economics classes; please join us as we warmly wish him a fond farewell.  
 Doug’s long and distinguished career has been characterized by a fruitful 
 marriage of scholarship and activism. Doug belongs within an indigenous 
 American tradition of dissenting radicalism whose most famous — perhaps 
 notorious — representatives are Thorstein Veblen and C. Wright Mills. He 
 has been an articulate and persistent critic of the American experience for 
 more than forty years, engaging both students and the wider public. In 
 1997, he published his semiautobiographical economic history of the U.S., 
 Blues for America. It exemplifies Dowd's scholarly engagement in public 
 life, meshing together the personal, the professional, and the political.  
 $10 - $20 suggested donation; the talk will be followed by a reception.  
 Sponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.  For more information,
