Hollywood's Blacklists
Autor Reynold Humphriesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2010 – vârsta de la 22 ani
Hollywood's Blacklists is a history of the political and cultural factors relevant to understanding the why and the how of the various investigations of the alleged Communist infiltration of Hollywood. What was HUAC? What propaganda role did films play during World War II and the Cold War? What values were at stake in the confrontation between Left and Right that saw the former so resoundingly defeated and expelled from Hollywood? Answers to these and other questions are offered via analyses of the motives of the various players and of the tactics deployed by HUAC to reward collaboration and punish dissent.
Key themes include:
*Trade unionism in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s
*Anti-Semitism and Nazism, Hollywood anti-Nazi propaganda films and the patriotic war effort
*The Cold War and concomitant hostility to all dissidence
*The consequences for Hollywood: the collapse of the liberal-Communist consensus; naming names; exile for many and the use of 'fronts' by blacklisted writers.
