Post-Cold War Revelations and the American Communist Party: Citizens, Revolutionaries, and Spies de Vernon L. Pedersen

Post-Cold War Revelations and the American Communist Party: Citizens, Revolutionaries, and Spies

Editat de Vernon L. Pedersen, James G. Ryan, Katherine A. S. Sibley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2022
Of all the 'third party' movements in American history, none have been as controversial as the Communist Party of the United States of America. Although denounced as a tool of the Soviet Union, accused of espionage and charged with advocating the revolutionary overthrow of the American government, before WWII it had been an accepted part of the political landscape. This collection offers an intriguing insight into this controversial political party in light of the Moscow archives that were made accessible after the end of the Cold War.This collection of original essays explores new aspects in the history of American Communism, drawing on a range of documents from Moscow and Eastern Europe. Examining traditional subjects in the light of new evidence, the essays cover a range of topics including party leaders, espionage, campaigns against racism, the Spanish Civil War, communism and gender, the fate of members after the McCarthy era and ways in which Communists became Anti-Communists.

Recenzii

Post-Cold War Revelations and the American Communist Party makes an invaluable contribution to the scholarship on the CPUSA. It is a must read for anyone that wants to understand the complexity of the CPUSA.
'All three editors are well-published.likewise the contributors include many well-established scholars on the subject. The range of the essays themselves in terms of subject matter (agriculture, unions, women, African Americans, espionage, politics) and interpretation bodes well for the finished project. The editors' contention that this is the first volume of essays on the American party since the opening of the archives and the dramatic transformation of the field seems justified. Overall, the proposed volume seems to represent a good bet.'
