  • Prelude to the Popular Front: The Communist Party in California, 1931-35

    Robert W ChernyARTICLEAmerican Communist History2002

    The opening of some Russian archives to research by Western historians has permitted new understandings of local Communist parties during the 1920s and 1930s. At the same time, these new sources have intensified historiographical debates over the degree of autonomy within the Communist party of the United States (CPUSA).
