The Dissident

The Dissident : Maine's journal of political and cultural analysis, was published from June 1995 – January 2000. It was founded by Wendy Hazard (editor), Selma Sternlieb (editor), and a collaborative of activists and contributing writers including Tom Andrews, Agnes Bushell, John Buell, Eileen Eagan, Diana Long, Tom Patton, John Rensenbrink, Neil Rolde, Seth Widgerson, Frances Fox Piven, Charles J. O'Leary, and many others.
The Dissident issued from the cultural space vitalized by The Maine Progressive (1986 - 1995), which, in turn, was a direct descendant of The Maine Statewide Newsletter (1980 - 1986). All served as vital cultural creative energy generators, collecting and reflecting a progressive activist community dedicated to changing Maine. In their own words:
"The Dissident is presented in the spirit of those dissidents, living and dead, whose refusal to accept established political, religious and social systems has inspired reform, revolution or peaceful change over the course of history, as well as in our own times."

- Introduction provided by Edward J. Democracy
