The Gods Must Be Crazy!: A Tiger Ride from Cradle of Communism to Catacomb of Capitalism A Proposal to bring back the House of Roosevelt's【電子書籍】[ Tiger Rider ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book takes its title from the 1980 comedy film "<em><strong>The Gods Must Be Crazy</strong></em>," in which an empty Coca-Cola bottle is dropped from a plane onto a community of African bushmen. The bottle is thought to be a gift from the Gods, but after it incites bitter fighting amongst the villagers, the tribal leader decides to return it to the Gods, embarking upon a journey to the end of the world. Through my own metaphorical coke bottle, I visualize the dawn of a daunting new Empire. This book serves as both a testament to the past glories of the current American Empire and a guidebook to restoring Capitalism and Enterprise - before it is too late.</p> <p><strong>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</strong></p> <p><strong>It's halftime America!</strong></p> <p>Ay Yi Yai Yi! We are in the middle of <em>The</em> <em>New World Order</em>!</p> <p>Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next.</p> <p>Many of today's enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures.</p> <p>If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious Empire - the Middle Kingdom of China - will consume us; sending their errand boys to collect bills from the US and over a hundred other countries that it has economically and digitally colonized since the Economic Tsunami of 2008, through "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) to its "Digital Silk Road" (DSR).</p> <p><em><strong>"Make Enterprise Great Again"</strong></em> digs into the foundations of capitalism and traces the ideals, triumphs and zeitgeist of the Roosevelt years in order to <em><strong>"Build Back Better"</strong></em> - and to save us from the impending Fourth Reich.</p> <p><em><strong>Yeah! It's halftime, America!</strong></em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 132円

The Pedagogy of Images Depicting Communism for Children【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the 1920s, with the end of the revolution, the Soviet government began investing resources and energy into creating a new type of book for the first generation of young Soviet readers. In a sense, these early books for children were the ABCs of Soviet modernity; creatively illustrated and intricately designed, they were manuals and primers that helped the young reader enter the field of politics through literature. Children’s books provided the basic vocabulary and grammar for understanding new, post-revolutionary realities, but they also taught young readers how to perceive modern events and communist practices.</p> <p>Relying on a process of dual-media rendering, illustrated books presented propaganda as a simple, repeatable narrative or verse, while also casting it in easily recognizable graphic images. A vehicle of ideology, object of affection, and product of labour all in one, the illustrated book for the young Soviet reader emerged as an important cultural phenomenon. Communist in its content, it was often avant-gardist in its form.</p> <p>Spotlighting three thematic threads ? communist goals, pedagogy, and propaganda ? <em>The Pedagogy of Images</em> traces the formation of a mass-modern readership through the creation of the communist-inflected visual and narrative conventions that these early readers were meant to appropriate.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,682円

Book Review: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels The founding text of communism【電子書籍】[ 50minutes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide.</strong></p> <p><em>The Communist Manifesto</em> is one of the most influential works of political theory ever written. The pamphlet was first published in 1848, when political upheaval was sweeping through Europe, and proposed a new system in which the means of production would be controlled by the workers and social classes would be abolished. According to Marx and Engels, society has so far been defined by class struggle between the oppressed majority and a minority who wield disproportionate economic and political power, resulting in an unfair and increasingly unequal social order. Their work has inspired revolutions in Russia, Cuba and China, among others, making Marxism one of the fundamental political ideologies of the 20th century.</p> <p><em><strong>This book review and analysis is perfect for:</strong></em><br /> ? Students of politics and economics<br /> ? Anyone looking to understand the political landscape of the 20th century<br /> ? Anyone looking for a better understanding of Marx and Engels’ views on society and inequality</p> <p><strong>About 50MINUTES.COM | BOOK REVIEW</strong><br /> The Book Review series from the 50Minutes collection is aimed at anyone who is looking to learn from experts in their field without spending hours reading endless pages of information.

Republicanism, Communism, Islam Cosmopolitan Origins of Revolution in Southeast Asia【電子書籍】[ John T. Sidel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In</strong> <em><strong>Republicanism, Communism, Islam</strong></em>**, John T. Sidel provides an alternate vantage point for understanding the variegated forms and trajectories of revolution across the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, a perspective that is de-nationalized, internationalized, and transnationalized.** Sidel positions this new vantage point against the conventional framing of revolutions in modern Southeast Asian history in terms of a nationalist template, on the one hand, and distinctive local cultures and forms of consciousness, on the other.</p> <p>Sidel's comparative analysis shows howーin very different, decisive, and often surprising waysーthe Philippine, Indonesian, and Vietnamese revolutions were informed, enabled, and impelled by diverse cosmopolitan connections and international conjunctures. Sidel addresses the role of Freemasonry in the making of the Philippine revolution, the importance of Communism and Islam in Indonesia's Revolusi, and the influence that shifting political currents in China and anticolonial movements in Africa had on Vietnamese revolutionaries. Through this assessment, <em>Republicanism, Communism, and Islam</em> tracks how these forces, rather than nationalism per se, shaped the forms of these revolutions, the ways in which they unfolded, and the legacies which they left in their wakes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,177円

Under Stalin's Shadow A Global History of Greek Communism【電子書籍】[ Nikos Marantzidis ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><strong>Under Stalin's Shadow</strong></em> <strong>examines the history of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) from 1918 to 1956, showing how closely national Communism was related to international developments.</strong> The history of the KKE reveals the role of Moscow in the various Communist parties of Southeastern Europe, as Nikos Marantzidis shows that Communism's international institutions (Moscow Center, Comintern, Balkan Communist Federation, Cominform, and sister parties in the Balkans) were not merely external factors influencing orientation and policy choices.</p> <p>Based on research from published and unpublished archival documents located in Greece, Russia, Eastern and Western Europe, and the Balkan countries, <em>Under Stalin's Shadow</em> traces the KKE movement's interactions with fraternal parties in neighboring states and with their acknowledged supreme mentors in Stalin's Soviet Russia. Marantzidis reveals how, because the boundaries between the national and international in the Communist world were not clearly drawn, international institutions, geopolitical soviet interests, and sister parties' strategies shaped in fundamental ways the KKE's leadership, its character and decision making as a party, and the way of life of its followers over the years.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,950円

The Communism of Love An Inquiry into the Poverty of Exchange Value【電子書籍】[ Richard Gilman-Opalsky ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Exploring the meanings and powers of love from ancient Greece to the present day, Richard Gilman-Opalsky argues that what is called “love” by the best thinkers who have approached the subject is in fact the beating heart of communismーunderstood as a way of living, not as a form of government. Along the way, he reveals with clarity that the capitalist way of assigning value to things is incapable of appreciating what humans value most. Capitalism cannot value the experiences and relationships that make our lives worth living and can only destroy love by turning it into a commodity. <em>The Communism of Love</em> follows the struggles of love in different contexts of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and shows how the aspiration for love is as close as we may get to a universal communist aspiration.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,349円

Musealisation of Communism in Poland and East Central Europe【電子書籍】[ Barbara Klich-Kluczewska ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The monograph is the result of research conducted between 2014 and 2018 in historical museums in Central and Eastern Europe. The main goal of the book is to verify the thesis about the existence of supranational collective memory in societies affected by the shared experience of totalitarianism.</p> <p>The analysis of the extensive research material allowed the author to distinguish social practices and types of exhibitions. Historical policies conducted by individual states exhibit features in common, their goal being to accustom people to the difficult past, to shape the positive images of the countries and to create the cultural founding myths of the post-communist states. Historical museum exhibitions become the executors of these ideas by introducing official interpretations of the communist period.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,713円

The Light of a Destiny Dark A real-life novel of Hungary under war followed by Soviet Communism【電子書籍】[ Helen Fogarassy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>About the author:</p> <p>Helen Fogarassy is an internationalist writer by birth and experience. She was born in Hungary, raised in the American Midwest, and has been a New Yorker all her adult life. Work with the United Nations and all facets of her community has led her to advocate a broad world view to enrich the quality of American life. Now as human challenges grow global, she aims to ease the daunting task of communicating across cultures.</p> <p>About the Book:</p> <p>An easy-going American and an intense Hungarian are a mature couple who get engaged just as the Iron Curtain falls in 1989. Army vet Arnie Smith considers it great news, but refugee immigrant Julia Kertesz is swept with a cascade of raw hurts. As the two work through their differing views about that period in history, current family crises push them into deeper conflict until a revived trauma signals the end. The novel is based on a memoir written by the author's mother after the family's 1956 escape from Communist Hungary. The memoir was entitled "Behind God's Back," the way Eastern Europeans felt under Soviet domination after the horrors of the Second World War. When first published, the events in the novel were considered too brutal for American readers. Recent unfortunate atrocities no doubt have toughened America to face global truths without borders.</p> <p>?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 360円

Television and Totalitarianism in Czechoslovakia From the First Democratic Republic to the Fall of Communism【電子書籍】[ Martin ?toll ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The story of Czechoslovak television is in many respects typical of the cultural and political developments in Central Europe, behind the Iron Curtain. Martin ?toll, with unprecedented access to the Military Historical Archives in Prague, provides contextual insights into the issues of introducing television in the whole Socialist Bloc (save China, Mongolia and Cuba), from the introduction of television broadcasting in Czechoslovakia in 1921 through to the 1968 occupation and the Velvet revolution in 1989 ? encapsulating an important point in media history within two totalitarian states.</p> <p><em>Television and Totalitarianism in Czechoslovakia</em> examines the variability of political interests as reflected on television in interwar Czechoslovakia, including Nazi research on television technology in the Czech borderlands (Sudetenland), the quarrel over the outcomes of this research as war booty with the Red Army, the beginning of the Czechoslovak technological journey, and, finally, the institutionalized foundation of Czechoslovak television, including the first years of its broadcasting as a manifestation of Communist propaganda. Revised and expanded from the Czech to include broader contexts for an English-speaking audience, ?toll expertly elucidates the historical, cultural, social, political, and technological frameworks to provide the first comprehensive study of the subject.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,605円

And nothing affects the flow of the American economy more than our great and mighty American government. Forever taking more and more money away from the richthat is, anyone with a job and a paycheckand funneling that money into the deep abyss of government bureaucracy; primarily for the purpose of rewarding political friends (crony capitalism), which keeps that massive amount of money from flowing to American businesses and eventually to American workers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Patriotic Betrayal The Inside Story of the CIA's Secret Campaign to Enroll American Students in the Crusade Against Communism【電子書籍】[ Karen M Paget ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<div>In this revelatory book, Karen M. Paget shows how the CIA turned the National Student Association into an intelligence asset during the Cold War, with students usedーoften wittingly and sometimes unwittinglyーas undercover agents inside America and abroad. In 1967, <I>Ramparts</I> magazine exposed the story, prompting the Agency into engineering a successful cover-up. Now Paget, drawing on archival sources, declassified documents, and more than 150 interviews, shows that the <I>Ramparts</I> story revealed only a small part of the plot.<BR>?<BR>A cautionary tale, throwing sharp light on the persistent argument, heard even now, about whether America’s national-security interests can be advanced by skullduggery and deception, <I>Patriotic Betrayal,</I> says Karl E. Meyer, a former editorial board member of the <I>New York Times</I> and <I>The Washington Post</I>, evokes “the aura of a John le Carr? novel with its self-serving rationalizations, its layers of duplicity, and its bureaucratic doubletalk.” And Hugh Wilford, author of <I>The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America,</I> calls <I>Patriotic Betrayal</I> “extremely valuable as a case study of relations between the CIA and one of its front groups, greatly extending and enriching our knowledge and understanding of the complex dynamics involved in such covert, state-private relationships; it offers a fascinating portrayal of post-World War II U.S. political culture in microcosm."</div>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,739円

The Roots of American Communism【電子書籍】[ Victor W. Turner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this definitive history of the evolution of the Com- munist Party in America--from its early background through its founding in 1919 to its emergence as a legal entity in the 1920s--Theodore Draper traces the native and foreign strains that comprised the party. He emphasizes its shifting policies and secrets as well as its open activities. He makes clear how the party in its infancy "was transformed from a new expression of American radicalism to the American appendage of a Russian revolutionary power," a fact that Draper develops in his succeeding volume, <em>American Communism and Soviet Russia.</em></p> <p>In his special, prescient way, Theodore Draper himself had the final words on American Communism: "It is like a museum of radical politics. In its various stages, it has virtually been all things to all men... There are many ways of trying to understand such a movement, but the first task is historical. In some respects, there is no other way to understand it, or at least to avoid seriously misunderstanding it. Every other approach tends to be static, one-sided or unbalanced."</p> <p>Draper correctly notes that the formative period of the American Communist movement has remained a largely untold and even unknown story. In part, the reasons for this are that the Communist movement, although a child of the West, grew to power in the Soviet East. But Draper rescues this chapter with deep appreciation for the fact that communism was not something that happened just in Russia, but also in the United States. This is a must read for scholars and laypersons alike.</p> <p>This volume is conceived as an independent and self-contained study of the American Communist movement. Draper correctly notes that the formative period is largely untold and even unknown. In part, the reasons for this are that the Communist movement, although a child of the West, grew to power in the Soviet East. Draper appreciates the fact that communism was not something that happened only in Russia, but also took place in the United States. That experience is the focus of this volume.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,278円

The Great Rebirth Lessons from the Victory of Capitalism over Communism【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The fall of communism transformed the political and economic landscape in more than two dozen countries across Europe and Asia. In this volume published on the 25th anniversary of the fall, political leaders, scholars, and policymakers assess the lessons learned from the "great rebirth" of capitalism and highlight the policies that were most successful in helping countries make the transition to stable and prosperous market economies. Also discussed in this book are examples of countries reverting to political and economic authoritarianism. The authors of these essays conclude that the best outcomes resulted from visionary leadership, a willingness to take bold steps, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and deregulation. Recent backsliding in Russia and Hungary has cast a shadow over the legacy of the transition a quarter century ago, however.</p> <p>This volume grew out of a two-day symposium of experts and practitioners reflecting on the past, present, and future of reform, held in Budapest, Hungary, on May 6?7, 2014.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,269円

The Export of Communism - And the Missionary of Central Europe And the Missionary of Central Europe【電子書籍】[ Heiko Bubholz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject History - Basics, grade: 1,0 (A), Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Centre for European Studies), course: History of International Relations between Russia and Central Europe, 26 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: I remember November 9, 1989, listing the East German news. The preceding weeks and months left a smell or at least some doubts that something is going not the 'socialist' way, which it is supposed to do. It began in the summer of this year in Hungary, was followed by the occupation of several embassies of the Federal Republic of Germany throughout the so-called East block. It was finally caricatured by the ceremonies to the 40th anniversary of the proclamation of the German Democratic Republic, while the presence of Gorbatschow was perceived as the visit of a future liberator rather than the ruling head of the suppressing and dominating 'Great Brother'. As a child, raised and taught in the socialist way, I had the opportunity to witness this truly historical event. The Iron Curtain, symbolised in East Germany through the existence of a white painted wall, fell at 6:57 p.m. 1. Rather accidentally, it was broadcast in a news conference all over East Germany. Today, November 9, 2001, twelve years later, I am sitting in Krak?w enjoying the opportunities the 'new' and formerly alien system has bought with it. Hence, it seems time for me to reconsider - though limited - the experiences I could make. Therefor I would like to elaborate what the 'socialist' or better Marxist-Leninist system was, how this ideology developed during several periods in history, and whether or how it moved after the World War II from the Soviet Union to the occupied or conquered regions of Central and Eastern Europe.

The Vernaculars of Communism Language, Ideology and Power in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The political revolutions which established state socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were accompanied by revolutions in the word, as the communist project implied not only remaking the world but also renaming it. As new institutions, social roles, rituals and behaviours emerged, so did language practices that designated, articulated and performed these phenomena. This book examines the use of communist language in the Stalinist and post-Stalinist periods. It goes beyond characterising this linguistic variety as crude "newspeak", showing how official language was much more complex ? the medium through which important political-ideological messages were elaborated, transmitted and also contested, revealing contradictions, discursive cleavages and performative variations. The book examines the subject comparatively across a range of East European countries besides the Soviet Union, and draws on perspectives from a range of scholarly disciplines ? sociolinguistics, anthropology, literary and cultural studies, historiography, and translation studies.</p> <p>Petre Petrov is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Texas at Austin.</p> <p>Lara Ryazanova-Clarke is Head of Russian and Academic Director of the Princess Dashkova Russia Centre in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,545円

The Red Flag A History of Communism【電子書籍】[ David Priestland ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“The best and the most accessible one-volume history of communism now available . . . A far-reaching, vividly written account.” ー<em>Foreign Affairs</em></strong></p> <p>In <em>The Red Flag,</em> Oxford professor David Priestland tells the epic story of a movement that has taken root in dozens of countries across two hundred years, from its birth after the French Revolution to its ideological maturity in nineteenth-century Germany to its rise to dominance (and subsequent fall) in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first modern Communists in the age of Robespierre, Priestland examines the motives of thinkers and leaders including Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che Guevara, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, and many others.</p> <p>Priestland also shows how Communism, in all its varieties, appealed to different societies for different reasons, in some as a response to inequalities and in others more out of a desire to catch up with the West. But paradoxically, while destroying one web of inequality, Communist leaders were simultaneously weaving another. It was this dynamic, together with widespread economic failure and an escalating loss of faith in the system, that ultimately destroyed Soviet Communism itself. At a time when global capitalism is in crisis and powerful new political forces have arisen to confront Western democracy, <em>The Red Flag</em> is essential reading if we are to apply the lessons of the past to navigating the future.</p> <p>“Detailed and scholarly but written in lively prose, this is a rich, satisfying account of the most successful utopian political movement in history.” ー<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円

Historical Legacies of Communism Modern Politics, Society, and Economic Development【電子書籍】[ Alexander Libman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Libman and Obydenkova reveal how legacies of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) have survived in the politics, economic development, culture, and society of post-Communist regions in the 21st Century. The authors show how this impact is not driven by Communist ideology but by the clientelistic practices, opportunism and cynicism prevalent in the CPSU. Their study is built on a novel dataset of the CPSU membership rates in Russian regions in the 1950s-1980s, alongside case studies, interviews and an analysis of mass media previously only available in Russian and discussed here in English for the first time. It will appeal to students and scholars of Russian and Eastern European politics and history, and anyone who wants to better understand countries which live or have lived through Communism: from Eastern Europe to China and East Asian Communist states.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,019円

Populating No Man’s Land Economic Concepts of Ownership under Communism【電子書籍】[ J?nos Matyas Kov?cs, University of Vienna ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This edited volume opening the new series Revisiting Communism: Collectivist Economic Thought in Historical Perspective focuses on the concepts of ownership, the cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies. The authors’ main objective is to contribute to the still unwritten chapter on collectivism in the history books of modern economic thought. They trace the lengthy evolution of economic ideas of property reform under communism leading from the doctrine of blanket nationalization to projects of moderate privatization in eight countries of Eastern Europe and China.</p> <p>The comparative analysis sheds light upon the tireless attempts of reform-minded economists in communist countries to populate the no man’s land of “social property” with quasi-private economic actors such as bodies of workers’ self-management and managers of state-owned companies. For a long time, these were expected to crowd out the communist nomenklatura from its actual ownership position without challenging the primacy of collective property rights. The fact that even the most radical reformers came to the conclusion that such surrogate owners would not be able to break the power of the ruling elite only on the eve of the 1989 revolutions demonstrates the immense strength of collectivist ideas. The authors coin the term “trap of collectivism” to warn those demanding nationalization or other forms of non-private ownership today: it is rather easy, even with the best intentions, to walk into this trap but it may take long decades to break out from it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 17,215円

Communism in Hollywood The Moral Paradoxes of Testimony, Silence, and Betrayal【電子書籍】[ Alan Casty ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Much has been written about the history of Communism in America, including the Party's appeal to many in the Hollywood community of the 1930s and 40s. While several books have offered standard accounts of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings and the blacklist in the entertainment industry, Alan Casty provides a fresh and provocative perspective. In Communism in Hollywood: The Moral Paradoxes of Testimony, Silence, and Betrayal, Casty challenges the absolute dualisms of the period: cowardly informers and heroic martyrs. Drawing on newly available material, Casty illustrates the control by the international Communist movement and the role of the Hollywood Communists themselves in fomenting the intense hostilities of the period. Casty juxtaposes the actions and statements of those who testified and 'named names' before HUAC with Communists who refused to testify and remained silent about the atrocities of the Soviet Union. By providing a scrupulous account of the full scope of the Communist Party in Hollywood, this book presents a more accurate picture of the moral quandaries faced during this dark period in American history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,733円
