This milestone issue features many of our longtime contributors, including Robin D. G. Kelley, Vivian Gornick, and Elaine Scarry, and celebrates classics from our archive. In this issue, historian and \u003cem\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/em\u003e contributing editor \u003cstrong\u003eRobin D. G. Kelley\u003c\/strong\u003e revisits Noam Chomsky's landmark 1967 essay, \"The Responsibility of Intellectuals,\" published near the height of the Vietnam War. The essay's dissident injunction--that those in privileged positions have a duty to \"speak the truth and expose lies\"--remains a powerful call to conscience, Kelley argues, but the anti-fascist and anti-colonial struggles of even earlier decades reveal its limits, and they show how to refuse and resist complicity in our own age of fascism and genocide.
