I. BIOGRAPHICAL FILES, 1944-1984

Arranged alphabetically by heading. Material documenting the life and work of Robert J. Alexander and his family. Document types include diaries, manuscripts, book reviews, broadsides, programs, newspaper and magazine clippings, receipts, programs, and identification cards. Subjects covered include lectures and programs given by Professor Alexander, his views on Latin American politics and economics, and his travels. Of particular interest is Alexander's eyewitness account of a 1962 coup in the Dominican Republic. Although most of the material is on Professor Alexander's Latin-American interests, it also reflects his interests in economic theory, trade, labor relations, left-wing movements, and his activities at Rutgers University. About one-third of the series consists of reviews of Professor Alexander's books. Diaries include an appointment book (1961) and a diary recording impressions of the political scene in Great Britain during a 1948 trip. A file of lecture and theater programs and receipts dates from Professor Alexander's war service in London. Also includes one file of clippings about Professor's Alexander's family.
