A preference for individualism, the effects of prosperity, and the miscalculations of different components of the Left, including the labor movement, have been cited, among other factors, as possible explanations for this puzzling aspect of American exceptionalism. But these arguments, says Richard Iton, overlook a crucial factor--the powerful influence of race upon American life.Iton argues that the failure of the American Left lies in its inability to come to grips with the centrality of race 606 $aRacism$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRadicalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRight and left (Political science)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocialism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aRacism$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aRadicalism$xHistory 615 0$aRight and left (Political science)$xHistory 615 0$aSocialism$xHistory 676 $a320.51/3/0973 700 $aIton$b Richard$01535470 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780373903321 996 $aSolidarity blues$93822193 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03073nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910780887603321 005 20230725041506.0 010 $a1-282-76367-9 010 $a9786612763670 010 $a981-4304-01-8 035 $a(CKB)2490000000001819 035 $a(EBL)731289 035 $a(OCoLC)694144309 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000436641 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12156035 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000436641 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10428305 035 $a(PQKB)10509147 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC731289 035 $a(WSP)00007706 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL731289 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10422508 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL276367 035 $a(EXLCZ)992490000000001819 100 $a20100603d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFollow the chemistry$b[electronic resource] $elure, lore, and life : an autobiography of Goh Lai Yoong 210 $aSingapore ;$aHackensack, N.J. $cWorld Scientific$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (176 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a981-4304-00-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aContents; Prologue; Acknowledgements; Chapter 1.

As the story unfolds, it is immediately apparent that her journey in academia has been far from ordinary. She gives credit to the excellent early education she received in Ipoh - a medium-sized town in Malaya - from highly qualified and dedicated nuns and teachers in the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus.
