Nathan Glazer (born February 25, 1923) is an American sociologist who taught at the University of California, Berkeley and for several decades at Harvard University. He was a co-editor of the now-defunct policy journal ''The Public Interest''. Known for books like ''Beyond the Melting Pot'' which deal with race and ethnicity, Glazer was critical of some of the Great Society programs of the mid-1960s and is often considered neoconservative in his thinking on domestic policy,〔 〕 though he remained a Democrat.〔 Glazer has described himself as "indifferent" to the neoconservative label with which he is arguably most associated, and also remarked that it was an appellation not of his choosing.〔〔 ==Early life== Born in New York City on February 25, 1923,〔Nathan Glazer, OTRS 2013011610014616〕〔()〕 Glazer grew up in East Harlem and the East Bronx in New York City. His parents, Jewish emigrants from czarist Russia,〔 spoke Yiddish in the home, and his father was a sewing machine operator. His older brother, Joe, would eventually become a folk musician who specialized in labor and radical themed songs. Glazer attended public school as a child and eventually the City College of New York.〔 At the time, the early 1940s, CCNY was known as a hotbed of radicalism, and Glazer fell in with a number of other young Marxists who were hostile to Soviet-style communism. Glazer, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Irving Kristol would meet in an alcove of the CCNY cafeteria and "spen() their days trying to understand how the socialist ideal of political and economic justice had ended in Joseph Stalin’s murderous tyranny."〔 As Glazer would later recall, "one of the characteristics of () group was a notion of its universal competence...culture, politics, whatever was happening we shot our mouths off on...It was a model created by the arrogance that if you’re a Marxist you can understand anything and it was a model that even as we gave up our Marxism we nevertheless stuck with."〔 Looking back years later Irving Kristol would remark that "even at City, () was never much of a radical."〔 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「Nathan Glazer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
