Barry B. Levine (January 22, 1941 – August 10, 2020) was an American academic and founding professor of Sociology at the Florida International University. [1] [2]
Barry B. Levine was born on January 22, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York. His parents were labor lawyer Nathan Levine and Miriam Margolies; he had a younger brother David (who also became an academic). He attended Brooklyn Tech. He received his B.A. in 1961 from the University of Pennsylvania and his M.A. in 1965 and Ph.D. in 1973 from the New School for Social Research. [1] [2]
Levine held a teaching position at the University of Puerto Rico for seven years before leaving for FIU, of which he was a founding professor in 1972 through his retirement in 2007, [1] after which he was professor emeritus of sociology. [2]
In 1969, he co-founded and edited Caribbean Review, an English-language journal focused on the culture and ideals of the Caribbean, Latin America and their emigrant groups; subscribers included the White House under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush. In 1981, Caribbean Review was a finalist for the National Magazine Award. [1]
Levine married Rosario Aycardi; they had two sons. [1]
Barry B. Levine died aged 79 on August 10, 2020, in Miami. [1]
Levine is perhaps best known for penning Benjy Lopez which received much acclaim; most recently in a February, 2008, Newsweek article written by art historian Robert Farris Thompson. [3]
In 2014, he was writing on the topic of "The Impermanence of Industry: Lessons Learned from the Last Great American Garment Maker," a first-person testimonial about a 77-year-old garment manufacturer who has had factories throughout the US, the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America. [4]
