ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 
Alan Brinkley. 'Liberty,Community and The National Idea'
Alan Brinkley is a professor of American history at Columbia University and the author
of the The End of the Reform. This article is from The American Prospect Online which is
a 
liberal newspaper. As long as it is a daily newspaper you don't have to be an expert to 
understand the article. He talks about American liberalism, the argument between the 
communitarians and liberals, the individualist strain, community and nation, and the
limits of 
communitarianism. He uses sources very much sometimes showing the lacking points in 
them and sometimes to prove his opinions. His sentences are long and the words he use are

not so sofisticated. This article is useful for my paper in understanding what 
communitarianism is what should be its limits.
Sen. John F. Kennedy, acceptance of the New York Liberal Party Nomination
John Kennedy who was an American President tells what liberalism is and tries to make
the definiton of the word 'liberal' clear. After that definition he says he's proud to be
a liberal 
in that sense. He talks about their roots of liberalism and their goals for the country
with the 
help of liberalism. As he was a president reader should not be an expert to understand
it. He 
uses other people's words like the words of Winston Churchill. This is not a detailed
work 
and sentences are very clear. It helped me to understand the word liberalism better in
order to 
use for my paper. 
Walter Williams. ' Nations Must Shift To Sensible Liberalism'
Walter Williams is a professor in University of Washington's Daniel J. Evans School 
of Public Affairs and author of ' Honest Numbers and Democracy '. This article is from 
Seattle Times which is again a liberal newspaper. The writer gives reasons about why
nations 
must shift to sensible liberalism. He explains who realistic and sensible liberals are.
He 
agrees that considerable state intervention is required and gives reasons why it's like
that. He 
also talks about left liberalists. You shouldn't be an expert to read it. Ideas and
sentences are 
very clear; words aren't sophisticated. He uses other professors' books as his sources.
Topics
are explained in detail. This article was useful for my paper because it talks about the
kind of
liberalism I believe and that's also what left liberals believe, in that sense it became
easier for 
me to prove my opininos.
Harold Meyerson. ' Why Liberalism Fled The City...'
Harold Meyerson is executive editor of L.A Weekly and a member of Dissent editorial 
board. This article is from the American Prospect Online which is a liberal newspaper. He

explains the political decay of American liberalism by giving city examples. He gives
reasons 
about why liberal politics collapsed in great cities. He also talks about individual and

community, the urban liberal prospect, and the new order and its discontents. This is a
very 
detailed article wtih lots of datas, sentences are long and complicated. It gives a lot
of 
information about mayor elections in USA with lots of statistics. One should have an 
idea of USA in order to understand the article clearly. The part that talks about 'the 
individual and communtiy' helped me to understand the relationship between them better.
Encyclopaedia Britannica. 'Liberalism'
This is taken from an encyclopedia and really makes a person to understand what
liberalism is. It gives the definiton of liberalism and then explains the historical
background
of liberalism, liberal conflicts of interest, liberal formula, contemporary liberalism,
the liberal
program, the future of liberalism and the changing nature of liberalism. It's very
detailed but 
every reader can understand it. All the topics necessary for understanding an ideology is

included. It's also very well organized. We can find a lot of examples, datas and
statistics.
It helped me to understand the term 'liberalism' better but not only the term. It was
useful for
my source because it talks about the future and changing nature of liberalism.
