Morton M. Grodzins (11 August 1917 – 7 March 1964) was a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, as well as a dean of the school and an editor at University of Chicago Press.
His book Americans Betrayed (1949) was the first major study criticizing the Japanese-American internment during World War II, based on his and others' work at the Japanese-American Evacuation and Resettlement Study at University of California, Berkeley.
[1] His book Making un-Americans (1955) looked at Cold War paranoia in a critical light.
Owing to his concern about the threat of nuclear war, he played a leading role in the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs.
He argued that the governments resembled a marble cake where the different flavors blended together rather than remaining in layers.
