- Title
Red, Black, and White: The Alabama Communist Party, 1930–1950 by Mary Stanton (review).
- Authors
Barrett, James R.
- Abstract
Inspired by Flannery O'Connor, that consummate southern storyteller, Stanton offers a highly readable narrative of the Black and white radicals who faced enormous danger and violence trying to create an integrated, more equitable society in the South. What is amazing here is not that the Communist Party failed in its revolutionary aims but, rather, that these radicals managed to carry on the fight in the face of staggering cruelty against Black radicals and any whites who dared to take up their cause. Her achievement here is to evoke the historical drama of an interracial radical movement in the heart of the Depression-era South.
