Title: More Than McCarthyism. (cover story)
Authors: WOLFE-ROCCA, URSULA (AUTHOR) ursula@rethinkingschools.org
Source: Rethinking Schools. Summer2021, Vol. 35 Issue 4, p16-21. 6p. 1 Color Photograph, 5 Black and White Photographs.
Subject Terms: Activists, Political persecution, LGBTQ+ people, Labor organizing, McCarthyism
Abstract: Every high school textbook I have consulted places the section on McCarthyism in its Cold War chapter, with a heading or subheading suggesting that the era is one of two: the second Red Scare. Ursula Wolfe-Rocca (ursula@ rethinkingschools. org) is a Rethinking Schools editor and curriculum writer/organizer with the Zinn Education Project. Even American Odyssey, which includes one of the best textbook treatments of McCarthyism I've seen, ends the chapter with a paragraph on the Army-McCarthy hearings, concluding that "Eventually, McCarthy went too far." (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) Astonishingly, four of the five textbooks I consulted provide no definition of communism in the entire McCarthyism chapter. [Extracted from the article]
