Reseña del libro "Verita$: Harvard's Hidden History (en Inglés)"

A critical examination of Harvard's monumental but disconcerting global influence and power, this book examines aspects of Harvard's history not generally known. The "hidden history" announced in the book's title begins with analysis of Harvard's involvement in the Salem witch trials and the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti. Similarly disquieting, Harvard provided students as strikebreakers in both the 1912 Bread and Roses textile workers strike and the 1919 Boston police strike. Harvard administrators and scientists promoted eugenics in the early twentieth century and had a deep impact on Nazi Germany's race theories. Its contemporary ties to U.S. foreign policy and neoliberalism are also profound. Harvard's management of Russian economic reform left nightmarish memories, and the university was compelled to pay more than $26 million after the U.S. government sued it. The book also examines Harvard's investment policy for its massive endowment, its restrictive labor policies, and its devastation of the adjoining Allston-Brighton neighborhood into which it is expanding. Harvard's motto is "Veritas," which means "truth" in Latin. As the author reviews Harvard's history, she questions the real meaning of truth and changes the letter "s" to "$" to emphasize the ways that Harvard has pursued money and power above its quest for truth. In directing her award-winning DVD of the same name and in preparing this book, the author used documents and interviews with dozens of people, including Noam Chomsky, George Katsiaficas, Richard Levins, Margaret Gullette, Victor Wallis, and many more.
