 | | Anticommunism at-large was protean and fractured, opposition to Communism stemmed from many sources. | | | Moreover, the de facto anticommunism of the state served as a constant reminder that social opprobrium (at the least) and political repression were likely consequences of CP affiliation. | | | This study is concerned with the domestic consequences and results of anticommunism in black America during a prolonged battle for equality of citizenship. |

| | The Historian: ANTICOMMUNISM, AMERICANIZATION, AND ETHNIC IDEN... @ HighBeam Research |
| | This article investigates such interaction by examining the involvement of Italian Americans in the 1948 parliamentary elections in Italy, which marked their major effort to support the Cold War strategy of the United States. | | | Protesting the anti-Italian bigotry and discrimination of the bill, Italian American organizations and newspapers tried to prevent Congress from passing it, praised Truman's veto, disseminated lists of the senators and representatives who over rode the president's veto, and urged the electorate of Italian extraction to vote against them in 1952.(47) | | | These latter had been in Italy's postwar coalition governments until May 1947, when Italy's need for U.S. reconstruction aid and the growing anticommunism of American foreign policy after Harry Truman became president caused De Gasperi to exclude them from his cabinet.(8) |

| | Atomic secrets and the red scare (May 1999) - Review - PhysicsWeb |
| | Although there were exceptions, most American scientists chose not to question the system of anticommunism - what is often know as McCarthyism (although as Wang demonstrates, it long predated the infamous Senator from Wisconsin) - but rather to defend themselves by asserting their loyalty and thereby tacitly accepting the validity of the inquisition. | | | This pragmatic strategy initially appeared successful in ameliorating the anticommunist purge, but in the long run it meant an abdication of any significant influence on science and security policy. | | | These included the mandatory, voluntary and not-so-voluntary loyalty oaths, the security-clearance investigations by the FBI, the security-clearance hearings, and the denial by the State Department of visas to foreign scientists trying to enter the US and to American scientists trying to leave the US. |

| | In the case of The Vital Center, much of the reason for this dismissal is that Schlesinger defined his own version of liberalism against communism and the "softness" of fellow-traveling "progressives," like supporters of Henry Wallace's 1948 presidential campaign. | | | Liberal anticommunism was not hysteria but rather a balancing act. | | | If Schlesinger's anticommunism was more thought-out than scholars working in cultural studies would have us believe, it was also more measured than Miller's play suggests. |

| | Foley: "Roads Taken and Not Taken..." |
| | The casual anticommunism of most Toomer critics--manifested in the tendency simply to "disappear" the many evidences of his leftism--ends up impoverishing our understanding of both his moment and his text. | | | My point is thus that the contradictions in Toomer's work are far richer when seen through the palimpsest of leftist debate; his preoccupation with his characters' "roots" neither reflects racial essentialism nor, anachronistically, anticipates current views of race as socially constructed, but engages with the nationalist/internationalist dialectic informing contemporaneous political discourse. | | | When the invisible man proclaims the virtues of American philosophical and political traditions in the novel's epilogue, then, he is not simply espousing Cold War rhetoric; his flinging American democracy in the face of American communism is the CP's own Popular Front rhetoric come home to haunt it. |

| | The rewardfor liberal anticommunism, as Reinhold Niebuhr's Union for Democratic Action discovered in 1942, was being trashed by HUAC as "an organization composed chiefly of individuals who have been a significant part of the interlocking directorate of the Communist movement in the United States." | | | The best part of Schrecker's book is her delineation of anticommunism during the Thirties (i.e., HUAC's founding, the Smith Act's creation, J. Edgar Hoover, busier than Kris Kringle, making lists of who's naughty and who should be locked up in the event of a national security emergency). | | | More important, the two are not so easily disentangled, at least not for Schrecker, whose critique of anticommunism proceeds from specific assertions she makes about the nature of the Communist Party and its place within the broad history of radicalism in the United States. |

| | Until we can see the various drafts of Invisible Man -- and learn, in particular, whether Ellison kept revising his depiction of the Brotherhood up through 1951 -- we can only speculate whether Ellison was influenced by specific texts in this discourse or simply created his Brotherhood out of the same ideological crucible. | | | What is currently needed is a rectification of the historical record, of which both Invisible Man and the commentaries on it have become part. | | | And for scores of critics subsequently commenting on Invisible Man -- and teachers teaching it, no doubt -- this incident, along with the others with which it is thematically grouped in the novel, has led to the conclusion that Ellison "got it right" about Communism. |
