  • UCLA HISTORICAL JOURNAL Vol
    ''Cocktail Picket Party" The Hollywood Citizen—News Strike, The Newspaper Guild, and the Popularization of the "Democratic Front" in Los Angeles Michael Furmanovsky The ten-week strike of Hollywood Citizen-News editorial workers in the spring and summer of 1938 left an indelible mark on the history of Los Angeles labor. Almost unmatched in the city's history for the large size and glamorous composition of its picket lines, the strike's transformation into a local "cause celebre" owed much to the input of the Communist Party of Los Angeles (CPLA) and its widely diffused allies. While the Communists were not responsible for calling the walkout in May 1938, the subsequent development of the strike into a small-scale symbol of the potential inherent in liberal-labor-left unity was largely attributable to the CPLA's carefully planned strategy, which attempted to fulfill the goals set by the American Communist Party during the "Democratic Front" period (1938-39); namely, to mobilize the broadest possible network of pro- Roosevelt groups and individuals, integrated with the full complement of Party-led organizations. These would range during the Citizen-News strike from CIO unions and liberal assemblymen, to fellow-travelling Holly- wood celebrities and Communist affiliated anti-fascist organizations.' The Hollywood Citizen-News strike was far from an unqualified success either for the strikers or for the broader political movement envisaged by the Communist Party in 1938-39, nevertheless it became a rallying point for those on the Communist and non-Communist left who looked to the New Deal and the CIO as the twin vehicles for a real political transforma- tion and realignment in the United States.

  • The Strangest Dream: Communism, Anticommunism and the US Peace
    H-Pol Haynes on Lieberman, 'The Strangest Dream: Communism, Anticommunism and the U.S. Peace Movement 1945-1963' Review published on Friday, December 1, 2000 Robbie Lieberman. The Strangest Dream: Communism, Anticommunism and the U.S. Peace Movement 1945-1963. Syracuse Studies on Peace and Conflict Resolution. New York: Syracuse University Press, 2000. xvii + 244 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8156-2841-5. Reviewed by John E. Haynes (Manuscript Division, Library of Congress)Published on H-Pol (December, 2000) Did Communism Give Peace a Bad Name? Did Communism Give Peace a Bad Name? The second paragraph of the preface to Robbie Lieberman's The Strangest Dream begins "although the much touted 'peace dividend' vanished over the Iraqi desert in 1991, and military spending remained at cold war levels...." (p. xiii). The book ends with an ardent endorsement of the left-wing Center for Defense Information's calls for drastic cuts in American military spending. Whether the American defense budget should be cut is a matter of opinion but Lieberman's factual claim is inaccurate. The level of American military manpower, ships, planes, tanks, artillery and other weaponry has all fallen substantially and have not been maintained at Cold War levels. Between these political exhortations are a series of chapters on those peace groups that aligned with the CPUSA in the early Cold War, as well as independent peace organizations that Communists entered in appreciable numbers. Also chronicled are controversies about Communists in the peace movement. Looming large are Henry Wallace's Progressive Party; the 1949 Cultural and Scientific Conference for World Peace (the Waldorf Conference); Paul Robeson's concert at Peekskill, New York, and the Stockholm Peace Petition.

    From Tuskegee to Moscow: Black Southerners and Self-Determination for the Black Belt in the 1920s Excerpted from Defying Dixie: The Radical Roots of Civil Rights, 1919-1950 Do not cite or reproduce Agrarian Studies, Yale University, March 7, 2008 The following paper is from my just-released book, which focuses on challenges to white supremacy in the three decades before what we traditionally think of as the civil rights movement. In my research in the Moscow archives (RGASPI), I became fascinated by the attention that the Executive Committee of the Comintern paid to rural black southerners. The policy of self-determination for the Black Belt, which grew out of that concern, has been treated by historians as an aberration, a false step that the Communists in far-away Moscow took because they were blinded by ideology and knew little about the South. In reality, southerners, white and black, advised on the policy and the RGASPI fonds are crammed with agricultural data on the South. I argue that the Comintern thought that southern black farmers would be the most revolutionary group in the United States and therefore the one that they should organize first to prevent them from becoming a reserve proletariate for the industries that were rapidly moving South. Moreover, the great migration of black southern farmers to the North threatened the Communists’ ability to organize in industry there. Since how and whether to organize peasants is an important debate in Marxism, the challenge that poor southern black farmers presented to the Comintern and U.S. Communists provides a fascinating view on how ideology, organizing, and leadership worked among Communists before Stalin tightened his grip on debate.

Partisanship within the American Civil Liberties Union: the Board of Directors, the Struggle with Anti-communism, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, 1938-1940. By Douglas Colin Post. Master of Arts in history. University of Richmond. May 1996. Professor R. Barry Westin, thesis director. The American Civil Liberties Union and an overwhelming majority of its historians have maintained that the organization has devoted its efforts solely to the protection of the Bill of Rights. This thesis examines that claim, focusing on the events that culminated in the expulsion of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn from the Union's Board of Directors. Relying primarily on the organization's own publications and archives, as well as several insiders' accounts, the analysis concludes that the issue of communism increasingly polarized the Board and, in a gross violation of its nonpartisan commitment to the defense of civil liberties, led ultimately to the Communist Flynn's removal.
