WINTER WEATHER ON CAMPUS Luke Tatge/The Mirror Senior Rachel McAllister scrapes her windshield in the Tuve Hall parking lot on Monday, Jan. 19, after a weeks-long streak of cold weather left students facing lows of -24°F (Thursday, Jan. 15). According to Weather Channel forecasts, Augustana is not in the clear yet, as snow is likely to return on Sunday. Professor's book maps U.S. socialism Jeffrey Johnson's book, They Are All Red Out Here, provides research, insight on American third-party politics from the early 20th Century By Luke Tatge Mirror Editor in Chief With a passion for studying history's un-derdogs, Augustana professor Jeffrey John-son fueled,extensive research and interest in the subject of socialism in America to write They Are All Red Out Here: Socialist Politics in the Pacific Northwest, 1895-1925. Johnson began research for his book in 2001. He studied socialist party newspapers, pamphlets and manuscripts in preparation for writing. After completing a manuscript in 2004, the University of Oklahoma Press picked up his work and published it in De-cember 2008. "My interest in American socialism comes from two proclivities I have about the disci-pline of history," Johnson said. "First, I love the 'historical underdog, and as far as U.S. political and labor history goes, you will find few better 'outsider's' than socialists. And second, I think as historians we are at our best when we tell stories that have not been told, and this one, remarkably, never received its historical due." Johnson hopes his book has some clear connections to modern society. He said it reminds readers that "anti-radicalism and paranoia can often unfairly stifle alternative viewpoints." "It reminds us of wage work and what the American working class has and does deal with," he said. "It tells us about our rigid two-party system and how difficult it is for third-party alternatives to flourish!' Johnson, who teaches an upper-division history course, "Radicals, Reformers and Ro-mantics," feels that research inspires instruc-tion. "It has been a long but wonderfully re-warding process," Johnson said. "As a class, we explore a diverse set of readings that shed insight on radical and reform movements and characters throughout American history. I am interested in radicalism because it can tell us so much about the main currents in American history, politics and thought!'
