Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Examining the impact of American Cold War politics on disparate local arenas,Labor's Cold Warreveals that anticommunist challenges reshaped local political cultures and set the stage for new rounds of political debate.The contributors demonstrate that the anticommunist movement was more diverse, more pervasive, and more sharply and creatively contested than historians have realized. Yet workers and their allies defended ongoing progressive politics at the local level. Examples include fights for fair employment and public housing; the expansion of New Deal-style regional development; the abolition of racial and ethnic discrimination policies; and workplace policies from the right to organize to a voice in wage and price controls. Local political stories from New Mexico, California, occupied Japan, Milwaukee, Detroit, St. Louis, and Schenectedy provide important alternative perspectives on the transformative power of anticommunism in the postwar period and contribute to an ongoing revision of the history of Cold War America and its political legacies.Contributors: Kenneth Burt, Robert W.
