Hal Draper

Hal Draper, ursprungligen Harold Dubinsky, född 19 september 1914 i Brooklyn i New York, död 26 januari 1990 i Berkeley i Kalifornien, var en amerikansk socialistisk aktivist och författare. Han spelade en viktig roll i en rörelse för yttrandefrihet i Berkeley. Han är känd för sina studier om historien kring och betydelsen av Karl Marx verk.

Draper var förespråkare för vad han kallade socialism underifrån, självemancipation av arbetarklassen, i motsats till kapitalism och stalinistisk byråkrati. Han var en av skaparna av ett tredje läger i trotskistisk riktning.

Biografi 
Hal Draper var son till etniska judar som emigrerade till Amerika från Ukraina, då en del av Kejsardömet Ryssland. Hans far, Samuel Dubinsky (död 1924) var chef för en skjortfabrik. Hans mor, Annie Kornblatt Dubinsky, drev en godisaffär för att överleva ekonomiskt efter sin mans död. Han var ett av fyra barn, och den amerikanske historikern Theodore Draper var hans bror.

När Hal Draper var 18 år insisterade hans mor på att byta familjens namn till det mer amerikanskklingande namnet Draper"för att skydda barnen från antisemitism under deras framtida yrkesliv. Hal Draper tog examen vid Boys High School och tog en kandidatexamen vid Brooklyn College 1934.
