I really enjoyed the elevator pitch given by Emma Foley in my “group” on the Red Scare following WWII. I thought it was genuinely interesting that she looked at how the government took advantage of the Red Scare to dissolve workers’ unions under the guise of combatting communism. I’d really like to see a more in-depth version of that. I appreciate that she also put a lot of work into contextualizing the culture that spawned the Red Scare and the commonplaces of that society, and that she took the time to mention that the effects of this ideology are still lingering today.
hehe
Evaluating state actions taken in the wake of the Red Scare is definitely going to be a crucial part of any analysis focused around it.
Thank you so much, what you said was very insightful and I hope to expand on that in my project!
I totally agree with this! :))
