Nowhere is this more evident that the two great red scares of 1919-20 and 1946-54; the latter generally - if somewhat inaccurately - termed McCarthyism. The interlude between these two major scares has tended to garner less attention, but as this volume makes clear, the lingering effects of 1919-20 and the gathering storm-clouds of McCarthyism were clearly visible throughout the 20s and 30s, even if in a more low-key way. Indeed, the period between the two great red scares was marked by frequent instances of political repression, often justified on anti-communist grounds, at local, state and federal levels. Yet these events have been curiously neglected in the history of American political repression and anti-communism, perhaps because much of the material deals with events scattered in time and space which never reached the intensity of the two great scares. By focusing on this twenty-five year interim period, the essays in this collection bridge the gap between the two high-profile red scares thus offering a much more contextualised and fluid narrative for American anti-communism. In so doing the rationale and motivations for the red scares can be seen as part of an evolving political landscape, rather than as isolated bouts of hysteria exploding onto - and then vanishing from - the political scene. Instead, a much more nuanced appreciation of the conflicting interests and fears of government, politicians, organised labour, free-speech advocates, employers, and the press is offered, which will be of interest to anyone wishing to better understand the political history of modern America.</p>...2336831Little Red Scares14511451https://www.gandhi.com.mx/little-red-scares-9781317104131/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2086495/0ef4decc-d911-4f48-862e-394417613747.jpg?v=638383489838300000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2084237/0ef4decc-d911-4f48-862e-394417613747.jpg?v=638383486866100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781317104131_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9781317104131_<p>Anti-communism has long been a potent force in American politics, capable of gripping both government and popular attention.
