The Marxist sociologist, William DiFazio, died March 10th of 2020 at the age of
72 from complications related to diabetes. I met Bill in 1975, when we were
both students at the CUNY Graduate Center. We remained friends for the next 45
years.
Bill Difazio wrote three books:
Longshoremen: Community and Resistance On The Brooklyn Waterfront 1985, The
Jobless Future (with Stanley Aronowitz) 1995, and Ordinary Poverty: A Little
Food and Cold Shelter 2005.
He hosted a popular radio show, City Watch, on WBAI from 2000-2016, where he
interviewed community activists as well as radical intellectuals. There is a
Wikipedia page for Bill at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_DiFazio
Bill contributed to a number of journals, including Social Text and Situations,
where he served on the editorial board. At the time of his death, he was
writing a book to be called, Conversations in Diners: Ordinary People and The
Crisis in Capitalism.
Bill DiFazio was a popular teacher at St. Johns in Queens, New York. He served
as Chair of the Sociology Department at St. Johns for six years. He also
volunteered at a food program run by St. Johns in Brooklyn for several years,
where he did the field work for, Ordinary Poverty.
Bill DiFazio is survived by his wife, Susan Heller, a Brooklyn artist, and his
daughter, Liegia DiFazio, an attorney in Atlanta.
