Tribute to C. Wright Mills

Friends and colleagues read from the book, C. Wright Mills: Letters and Autobiographical Writings, published by the University of California Press. They also talked about their connections with Mills and about the inspiration of his writings on their lives. Mills was a sociologist and teacher, whose anti-establishment writings influenced the reformist social thinking of the 1960s. The book was co-edited by Ms. Mills, daughter of C. Wright Mills. Mr. Wakefield, who wrote the introduction to the book, acted as moderator. Mr. Mills is the son of C. Wright Mills. close
