Todd Gitlin distinguished himself in the 1980s with well-received books that dealt with the role of the media in the 1960s anti-war movement, with the 1960s scene grounded in his activism with SDS and progressive movements, and with the nature and complex roles of television in U.S. society (1980, 1983, 1987). In the 1990s, he moved from the left toward a more reformist liberalism and began criticizing multiculturalism and what he saw as a fragmented postmodern identity politics in his book The Twilight of Common Dreams (1995). Since 9/11 he has focused his critical energies more intensely on the left and in particular the "academic left."
