Anti-communism and Popular Culture in Mid-century America (Paperback)

Not long after the Allied victories in Europe and Japan, America's
attention turned from world war to cold war. The perceived threat
of communism had a definite and significant impact on all levels of
American popular culture, from Harry Chapin's propaganda maps in
Time magazine to The Bullwinkle Show. This work examines
representations of anti-communist sentiment in American popular
culture from the early fifties through the mid-sixties. The
discussion covers television programs, films, novels, journalism,
maps, memoirs, and other works that presented anti-communist
ideology to millions of Americans and influenced their thinking
about these controversial issues. It also points out the different
strands of anti-communist rhetoric, such as liberal and
countersubversive ones, that dominated popular culture in different
media, and tells a much more complicated story about producers' and
consumers' ideas about communism through close study of the
cultural artifacts of the Cold War.
