  • The Impact of Anti-Communism on the Development of Marxist Historical Analysis Within the Historical Profession of the United States, 1940-1960
    BUILDING THE ABSENT ARGUMENT: THE IMPACT OF ANTI-COMMUNISM ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARXIST HISTORICAL ANALYSIS WITHIN THE HISTORICAL PROFESSION OF THE UNITED STATES, 1940-1960 Gary Cirelli A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2010 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Don K. Rowney Dr. Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2010 Gary Cirelli All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Douglas Forsyth, Advisor This study poses the question as to why Marxism never developed in the United States as a method of historical analysis until the mid-1960s. In this regard, the only publication attempting to fully address this question was Ian Tyrrell’s book The Absent Marx: Class Analysis and Liberal History in Twentieth-Century America, in which he argued that the lack of Marxist historical analysis is only understood after one examines the internal development of the profession. This internalist argument is incomplete, however, because it downplays the important impact external factors could have had on the development of Marxism within the profession. Keeping this in mind, the purpose of this study is to construct a new argument that takes into account both the internal and external pressures faced by historians practicing Marxism preceding the 1960s. With Tyrrell as a launching pad, it first uses extensive secondary source material in order to construct a framework that takes into account the political and social climate prior to 1960. Highlighting the fact that Marxism was synonymous with Communism in the minds of many, it then examines the ways in which the government tried to suppress Communism and the impact this had on the academy.

Articles Communists and the Classroom: Radicals in U.S. Education, 1930–1960 Jonathan Hunt Concern about Communists in education was a central preoccupation in the U.S. through the middle decades of the twentieth century. Focusing on post-secondary and adult education and on fields related to composition and rhetoric, this essay offers an overview of the surprisingly diverse con- texts in which Communist educators worked. Some who taught in Com- munist-sponsored “separatist” institutions pioneered the kinds of radical pedagogical theories now most often attributed to Paulo Freire. Communist educators who taught in “mainstream” institutions, however, less often saw their pedagogy as a mode of political action; their activism was deployed mainly in civic life rather than the classroom.

  • Appendix I: a Letter on John Reed's 'The Colorado War'
    Appendix I: A Letter on John Reed's 'The Colorado War' Boulder, Colorado. December 5 1915 My dear Mr Sinclair:- I have your letter of Ist inst. I do not think the reporter always got me quite right, or as fully as he might have got me. I did, however, think at the time I testified that Reed's paper in The Metropolitan contained some exaggerations. I did not intend to say that he intentionally told any untruths, and doubtless he had investigated carefully and could produce witnesses to substantiate what he said. Some things are matters of opinion. Some others are almost incapable ofproof. The greater part of Reed's paper is true. But for example, p. 14 1st column July (1914) Metropolitan: 'And orders were that the Ludlow colony must be wiped out. It stood in the way ofMr. Rockefeller's profits.' I believe that a few brutes like Linderfelt probably did intend to wipe this colony out, but that orders were given to this effect by any responsible person­ either civil or military - is incapable of proof. So the statement that 'only seventeen of them [strikers] had guns', I believe from what Mrs Hollearn [post-mistress] tells me is not quite correct. On p. 16 Reed says the strikers 'eagerly turned over their guns to be delivered to the militia' - Now it is pretty clear from what happened later that many guns were retained: on Dec. 31 st I was at Ludlow when some 50 or so rifles - some new, some old - were found under the tents and there were more - not found.

After Henry Roth’s Call it Sleep came out in 19341, New Masses published a review of the novel which ended by saying: “It is a pity that so many young writers drawn from the proletariat can make no better use of their working-class experience than as material for introspective and febrile novels.2” Although some left-wing critics (such as Edwin Seaver) and other Communist publications (like the Daily Worker) reviewed the book favorably, the New Masses article, coupled with the poor sales of the novel and the bankruptcy of its publisher, affected Roth and contributed to his long novelistic silence. Why reject a novel written by an “authentic” working class author, who lived in the Lower East side slums and whose parents were poor Jewish immigrants?

The definition and status of proletarian literature in the United States gave rise to numerous debates; in many ways, proletarian literature was created by criticism, and buried by criticism. Spurred by the Comintern’s “third period” (1928-1935), it was defined and encouraged by the Communist party of the United States (CPUSA) and its cultural organs. But critics and writers ceaselessly debated its nature: should proletarian literature be written exclusively by writers who belonged to the proletariat? Should it deal only with subjects pertaining to the life of the working class? Should it have a specific style? With the Stalin trials, the German Soviet pact and the onset of the Cold War, most critics, agreeing with what Philip Rahv had written in 1939, dismissed proletarian literature as “the literature of a party disguised as the literature of a class3 ", and labeled the works it had given birth to as mere propaganda.
