À propos de ce livre

This book re‑examines the McCarthy era as a domestic political purge, where the Red Scare turned constitutional rights into conditional privileges and blacklists turned ideas into liabilities. It asks how a campaign against "un‑American" activity remade workplaces, schools, and media by bracketing dissent as dangerous, and how those pressures lingered long after Senator Joseph McCarthy's fall from power. The narrative centers on three overlapping mechanisms: the institutionalization of suspicion through congressional hearings, FBI investigations, and loyalty‑security programs that branded political dissent as subversion; the rise of blacklists in Hollywood, universities, unions, and government that excluded thousands without trial, often on the basis of association or past affiliation; and the legal and cultural erosion of the First Amendment, as labeling, surveillance, and public shaming became tools of state and private repression. Drawing on testimony transcripts, FBI files, and oral histories, the book shows how the Red Scare turned neighbors, colleagues, and students into monitors of one another, transforming everyday speech into a test of political purity.
