Kirkpatrick Sale (born June 27, 1937) is an independent scholar and author who has written prolifically about political decentralism, environmentalism, luddism and technology. He has been described as having a "philosophy unified by decentralism"〔John F. Mongillo, Bibi Booth, Editors, ''Environmental activists,'' Greenwood Publishing Group, (p. 245 ), 2001, ISBN 0-313-30884-5, ISBN 978-0-313-30884-0〕 and as being "a leader of the Neo-Luddites,"〔Kevin Kelly, (Interview with the Luddite ), ''Wired Magazine'', 1995.〕 an "anti-globalization leftist,"〔Schwenkler, John (2008-11-03) (Untied States ), ''The American Conservative''〕 and "the theoretician for a new secessionist movement."〔Peter Applebombe, (A Vision of a Nation No Longer in the U.S. ), ''New York Times'', October 18, 2007.〕 ==Life and work== Sale grew up in Cayuga Heights, Ithaca, New York, and would later say of the village that he "spent most of my first twenty years there, and that has made an imprint on me—on my philosophy, social attitudes, certainly on my politics—that has lasted powerfully for the rest of my life."〔Sale, Kirkpatrick. (The Importance of Growing Up Village ), ''Front Porch Republic''〕 He graduated from Cornell University, majoring in history, in 1958.〔(Richard and Mimi Farina "fan site" ).〕〔(Thinkquest Biography Kirkpatrick Sale ).〕 He served as editor of the student-owned and managed newspaper, the ''Cornell Daily Sun''. Sale was one of the leaders of the May 23, 1958 protest against university policies forbidding male and female students fraternizing and its "in loco parentis" policy. Sale and his friend and roommate Richard Farina, and three others, were charged by Cornell. The protest was described in Farina's 1966 novel, ''Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me.''〔 In 1958 he collaborated with Thomas Pynchon on an unproduced futuristic musical called ''Minstrel Island''.〔(Thomas Pynchon: An Inventory of His Collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center ).〕 Upon graduating in 1958, Sale married Faith Apfelbaum, who later worked as an editor with Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller and Amy Tan. Faith died in 1999.〔Bruce Weber, (Obituary: Faith Sale, 63, a Fiction Editor Known as a Writers' Advocate ), ''New York Times'', December 13, 1999.〕 Sale worked initially in journalism for the leftist journal ''New Leader'', "a magazine founded in 1924 in part by socialists Norman Thomas and Eugene Debs,"〔Hunter, Jack (2011-06-16) (Radical Kirk ), ''The American Conservative''〕 and the ''New York Times Magazine'', before becoming a freelance journalist. He spent time in Ghana and wrote his first book about it. His second book, ''SDS'', was about the radical 1960s group Students for a Democratic Society.〔 The book "is still considered one of the best sources on the youth activist organization that helped define 1960s radicalism."〔 In 1968, he signed the “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.〔“Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” January 30, 1968 ''New York Post''〕 Subsequent books explored radical decentralism, bioregionalism,〔Anderson, Walter Truett. (There's no going back to nature ), ''Mother Jones'' (September/October 1996)〕 environmentalism, the Luddites and similar themes.〔 He "has been a regular contributor to progressive magazines like ''Mother Jones'' and ''The Nation'' for the better part of his writing career"〔 and has continued to write for those publications,〔 as well as for ''The American Conservative'',〔(Archive ) of Sale's articles at ''The American Conservative''〕 ''CounterPunch'',〔Sale, Kirkpatrick (2005-02-22) (Imperial Entropy: Collapse of the American Empire ), ''CounterPunch''〕 ''The New York Review of Books'',〔Sale, Kirkpatrick (1973-05-03) (The World Behind Watergate ), ''New York Review of Books''〕 and the ''Utne Reader''.〔Sale, Kirkpatrick. (The Secession Solution ), ''Utne Reader'' (January–February 2011)〕 Sale presented public affairs programming for WBAI in the early 1980s〔(WBAI Folio from the Pacifica Radio Archives ), November, 1982.〕 and has made appearances on alternative radio over the years.〔Radio appearances include (Alternative Views ), 1992; (The Southern Avenger ), 2009; (The Political Cesspool ); (One Radio Network ); (Kevin Barrett show ), 2010.〕 Sale has donated 16 boxes of materials—typescripts, galley proofs, correspondence, etc.—for each one of his books to the archives at Cornell University (2BKroch Library, Cornell, Ithaca, 14853), where they are available for public inspection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirkpatrick Sale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
