- Summary:
- In this revisionary study, the author challenges prevalent myths about left-wing culture in the Depression-ear United States. Focusing on little-known archival material and a broad range of proletarian novels, the author recaptures an important literature and rewrites a segment of American cultural history long obscured and distorted by the anit-Communist bias of contemporaries and subsequent critics.
