[ED: Softcover], [PU: Edinburgh University Press], Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?' That question was to be repeated endlessly during the anti-Communist investigations carried out by the House Committee on un-American Activities (HUAC) in the early 1950s. The refusal of ten members of the film industry to answer the question in 1947 led to the decision by studio bosses to fire them and never to hire known Communists in the future. The Hearings led to scores of actors, writers and directors being named as Communists or sympathisers. All were blacklisted and fired.
Hollywood?s Blacklists is a history of the political and cultural factors relevant to understanding the why and the how of the various investigations of the alleged Communist infiltration of Hollywood. What was HUAC? What propaganda role did films play during World War II and the Cold War? What values were at stake in the confrontation between Left and Right that saw the former so resoundingly defeated and expelled from Hollywood? Answers to these and other questions are offered via analyses of the motives of the various players and of the tactics deployed by HUAC to reward collaboration and punish dissent.
Key themes include:
*Trade unionism in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s
*Anti-Semitism and Nazism, Hollywood anti-Nazi propaganda films and the patriotic war effort
*The Cold War and concomitant hostility to all dissidence
*The consequences for Hollywood: the collapse of the liberal-Communist consensus naming names exile for many and the use of ?fronts? by blacklisted writers.

A "Choice" Outstanding Academic Title Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" That question was asked repeatedly during the anti-Communist investigations of the House Committee on un-American Activities (HUAC). When ten members of the film industry refused to answer, they were blacklisted and fired. Scores of actors, writers, and directors shared a similar fate, labeled Communists or Communist sympathizers. "Hollywood's Blacklists" explains why these investigations took place, detailing the members and goals of HUAC, the role films played during World War II and the Cold War, and the values at stake as the Left confronted the Right, leaving the former resoundingly expelled from Hollywood.
