"Before I knew that I was Jewish or a girl I knew that I was a
member of the working class." So begins Vivian Gornick's
exploration of how the world of socialists, communists, and
progressives in the 1940s and 1950s created a rich, diverse world
where ordinary men and women felt their lives connected to a larger
human project. Now back in print after its initial publication in
1977 and with a new introduction by the author, The Romance of
American Communism is a landmark work of new journalism, profiling
American Communist Party members and fellow travelers as they
joined the Party, lived within its orbit, and left in
disillusionment and disappointment as Stalin's crimes became
public. From the immigrant Jewish enclaves of the Bronx and
Brooklyn and the docks of Puget Sound to the mining towns of
Kentucky and the suburbs of Cleveland, over a million Americans
found a sense of belonging and an expanded sense of self through
collective struggle. They also found social isolation,
blacklisting, imprisonment, and shattered hopes. This is their
story--an indisputably American story.
