Palgrave Macmillan - Anticommunism And The African American Freedom Movement Another Side Of The Story - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The original essays in this book highlight the destructive impact of Mc Carthyism on the African American Freedom Movement. Recovering little - known stories of black radical activism they challenge the idea that the Cold War was on balance beneficial to the movement. The book emphasizes what was lost when anticommunism forced the movement to submerge broader issues of economic justice labor rights feminism and peace. The authors illustrate the often neglected or understated human costs of the Red Scare focusing on local and individual stories that offer insight into larger national and international trends.
