This pathbreaking collection of essays recasts the prevailing
conceptions of the historical roots and role of the U.S. Communist
Party and its social setting. The contributors focus on the
movement that formed around the party and the popular culture it
expressed, particularly in the period from 1930 to 1960. They look
at the impact of the party and its followers in the areas of
education, literature, and the arts, in the African-American
community, and on the women's and labor movements. In their
preface, the editors place the book in the context of the broader
critical examination of the history of the left in the United
States. By analyzing the historical reasons for the party's appeal
and its relationship to those outside its ranks, the volume
contributes to a fuller understanding of the broader societal
context within which all oppositional movements are formed.
Contributors (in order of appearance in book): Michael E. Brown,
Mark Naison, John Gerassi, Stephen Leberstein, Ellen Schrecker,
Rosalyn Baxandall, Roger Keeran, Gerald Horne, Annette T.
Rubinstein, Marvin E. Gettleman, Alan Wald, and Gil Green
(interviewed by Anders Stephanson).
