The New York Intellectuals: The Rise and Decline of the Anti-Stalinist Left from the 1930s to the 1980s

by Alan M. Wald

The New York Intellectuals: The Rise and Decline of the Anti-Stalinist Left from the 1930s to the 1980s Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In contrast to other scholars who emphasize the affinity of the "New York Intellectuals" for literary modernism and its largely Jewish composition as its defining characteristics, Wald finds these traits to be secondary to the group's agonizing efforts in the 1930s and after to build a Marxist alternative to the official Communist movement. Wald presents an absorbing account of this misunderstood chapter in the history of literary radicalism and the Marxist intellectual tradition in the United States.

Synopsis:

The New York Intellectuals is an absorbing account of an often misunderstood chapter in the history of literary radicalism and the Marxist intellectual tradition in the United States. It is enriched by more than one hundred personal interviews as well as critical interpretations of novels and short stories depicting the inner life of the group.
