Abstract
(type = abstract)
The main objective of this research is to illuminate the Communist Party USA’s movement in protest against the Vietnam War (1961-1971). Scholarship on anti-Vietnam War activism fails to focus on American Communists who participated alongside more routinely remembered college protesters. This thesis concentrates on three dimensions of Party activism: Its journalism, youth organizations, and the movement’s circulation to more Americans. American Communist dissent, the thesis shows, worked within a complex American political climate. The Party’s anti-war activism centered on an Old Left radical tradition separating Communists and non-Communist activists. Party activists also navigated the dichotomy between embracing Communist ideology and activism, and denying Party membership. By the 1970s, however, CPUSA activists found themselves outside of the anti-war culture. President Nixon's "Vietnamization" of the war diluted the fervor of the anti-war movement that revealed deep divisions between Communists and liberal groups whose alliance proved both volatile and temporary.
