was told in no uncertain terms that i could write about milton or shakespeare, maybe even pound and eliot, who had just recently been introduced to the canon, but certainly not anything african or african-american. and after months of arguing, they allowed me to choose as a topic the enlightenment, the 18th century, and to look at how europeans wrote about the first african -- and what we would now call african-american writers who were published in english and french and german and dutch. so it was sort of a compromise. but even wole soyinka, who later got the nobel prize -- even he, who was a professor there, was not given an appointment in the english department. he was appointed in the socio-anthropology department because the english department said that african literature was anthropological or sociological, but it was not belletristic and it was not properly housed in the english department. well, that's important because i began my career sort of fighting for what we call cultural pluralism or multiculturalism within the traditional disciplines, and the advantage of winning a batt

eliot, there's also a burgeoning libertarian movement, but it's not linked in material ways to these conservative sentiments. there's a reluctance prior to 19 45 of conservative intellectuals to translate their ideas into politics. to me, somebody like whitaker chambers is emblematic of that change. he was wonderfully trained by his years in the communist party to link ideas to movements, to parties, to initiatives. and he brought that, he and others brought t that, that strategic way of thinking about politics to conservativism. and, for example, when he argues in the 1950 with william f. buckley jr. about politics, chambers says we have to use the republican party. neither of us likes it, we don't think that eisenhower's a conservative. there's a huge distance to travel before this becomes a real conservative party, but we have to use the means that are available to us, and we have to be pragmatic and realistic, and we have to work through the gradual mechanics of social change. that spirit is quite new. after goldwater, it's going to testimony be spirit of the conservative movemen
