Hammer and Hoe Alabama Communists During the Great Depression

"Robin D.G. Kelley's Hammer and Hoe, published in 1990, is part of the revisionist post-cold war scholarship on American Communism which attempts to show that the Party did not merely project Soviet influence onto the American domestic scene but was also helping to organize grass-roots movements that embroiled the beliefs, needs, and aspirations of the people who took part in them. More than most such studies, this one makes a persuasive case that an oppressed group could use the help provided by 'the reds' for its own purposes, as well as being used by them for goals that were set in Moscow."Kelley, Robin D.
