The perceived threat of communism had a definite and significant impact on all levels of American popular culture, from government propaganda films like \u003ci\u003eRed Nightmare\u003c\/i\u003e in \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine to \u003ci\u003eAdventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This work examines representations of anti-communist sentiment in American popular culture from the early fifties through the mid-sixties. The discussion covers television programs, films, novels, journalism, maps, memoirs, and other works that presented anti-communist ideology to millions of Americans and influenced their thinking about these controversial issues. It also points out the different strands of anti-communist rhetoric, such as liberal and countersubversive ones, that dominated popular culture in different media, and tells a much more complicated story about producers' and consumers' ideas about communism through close study of the cultural artifacts of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyndy Hendershot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786414405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786414406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 5.96w x 0.40d","brand":"Cyndy Hendershot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057341034751,"sku":"9780786414406","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_855510a3-8c70-4a8a-a20a-0aab00c2c63f.jpg?v=1685046421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-communism-and-popular-culture-in-cyndy-hendershot-9780786414406","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
