American Communist History is a non-partisan, objective journal for scholarship about the history of the Communist Party in the United States and its social, political, economic and cultural impact on its members, on its opponents, and the public at large. The journal deals with the American party and with the various outside influences which have dealt with its representation, with the controversial folklore that has been engendered about it, and with the many differing views about its antecedents, and its diverse opponents on the Left and Right. While rooted in the United States, the journal welcomes contributions which are transnational or international in scope. Despite the end of the Cold War, there is still enormous controversy about the range of Communist influence on all aspects of American life. This peer-reviewed journal of the Historians of American Communism makes available scholarship on the role of American Communism and Communists since the Party’s founding at the end of the First World War. Seeking the broadest possible perspective the journal seeks submissions not only from academic historians but from other scholars, journalists, and activists who can objectively contribute to a complex, intriguing, and important history. Research articles, notes and documents, interpretive essays, and short memoirs are welcome. The journal is committed to media reviews. We stress both the domestic sphere and the global one. American Communist History deals in detail with the various interpretations defining the role of the Communist Party, its front groups, its opponents, and Soviet agents in the United States within and on the Left and the Right. What the journal publishes is limited only by the curiosity of potential contributors and the need for quality. We wish to enhance the knowledge of issue-laden, often partisan, developments in a useful, professional, and intelligent way. American Communist History deals not only with Communism in the U.S., but with all aspects of its influence and the forces that influenced it.
