On top of all that, Peggy has a hard time at school, and gets taunted by her classmates. When she finds a mysterious artifact that gives her the ability to fly, she thinks it's the solution to all her problems. But if Peggy wants to keep it, she'll have to overcome bullies, outsmart FBI agents, and escape from some very strange spies!
In the 1920s, cultural and political reactions to the Red Scare in America contributed to a marked shift in the way Americans thought about sexuality, womanhood, manhood, and family life. The Russian Revolution prompted anxious Americans sensing a threat to social order to position heterosexuality, monogamy, and the family as a bulwark against radicalism.
In her probing and engaging book, Red War on the Family, Erica Ryan traces the roots of sexual modernism and the history of antiradicalism and antifeminism. She illuminates how Americans responded to foreign and domestic threats and expressed nationalism by strengthening traditional gender and family roles-especially by imposing them on immigrant groups, workers, women, and young people.
Ryan argues that the environment of political conformity in the 1920s was maintained in part through the quest for cultural and social conformity, exemplified by white, middle-class family life. Red War on the Family charts the ways Americanism both reinforced and was reinforced by these sexual and gender norms in the decades after World War I.

At the height of the cold war, southern segregationists exploited the reigning mood of anxiety by linking the civil rights movement to an international Communist conspiracy. Jeff Woods tells a gripping story of fervent crusaders for racial equality swept into the maelstrom of the South's siege mentality, of crafty political opportunists who played upon white southerners' very real fear of Communists, and of a people who saw lurking enemies and detected red propaganda everywhere. In their strange double identity as both defiant Confederate flag-wavers fiercely protecting regional sovereignty and as American superpatriots, many southerners stood ready to defend against subversives be they red or black. Concentrating on the phenomenon at its most intense period, Woods makes vivid the fearful synergy that developed between racist forces and the anti-Communist cause, reveals the often illegal means used to wash the movement red, and documents the gross waste of public funds in pursuing an almost nonexistent threat. Though ultimately unsuccessful in convincing Americans outside of Dixie that the civil rights protests were controlled by Moscow, the southern red scare forced movement activists to distance themselves from the Marxist elements in their midst -- thereby gaining the sympathy of the American people while losing the support of some of their most passionate antiracist campaigners. A product of vast archival research and the latest literature on this increasingly popular subject, this is the first book to consider the southern red scare as a unique regional phenomenon rather than an offshoot of McCarthyism or massive resistance. Addressing the fundamental struggle of Americans to balance liberty and security in an atmosphere of racial prejudice and ideological conflict, it will be equally compelling for students of civil rights, southern history, the cold war, and American anti-Communism.

Black Liberation/Red Scare is a study of an African American Communist leader,
Ben Davis, Jr. (1904-64). Though it examines the numerous grassroots campaigns
that he was involved in, it is first and foremost a study of the man and secondarily a
study of the Communist party from the 1930s to the 1960s. By examining the public
life of an important party leader, Gerald Horne uniquely approaches the story of how
and why the party rose and fell.
Ben Davis, Jr., was the son of a prominent Atlanta publisher and businessman who
was also the top African American leader of the Republican party until the onset of
the Great Depression. Davis was trained for the black elite at Morehouse, Amherst,
and Harvard Law School. After graduating from Harvard, he joined the Communist
party, where he remained as one of its most visible leaders for thirty years. In 1943,
after being endorsed by his predecessor, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., he was elected to
the New York City Council from Harlem and subsequently reelected by a larger
margin in 1945. Davis received support from such community figures as NAACP
leader Roy Wilkins, boxer Joe Louis, and musician Duke Ellington. While on the
council Davis fought for rent control and progressive taxation and struggled against
transit fare hikes and police brutality.
With the onset of the Red Scare and the Cold War, Davis-like the Communist party itself
was marginalized. The Cold War made it difficult for the U.S. to compete with Moscow for
the hearts and minds of African Americans while they were subjected to third-class
citizenship at home. Yet in return for civil rights concessions, African American organizations
such as the NAACP were forced to distance themselves from figures such as Ben Davis. In
1949 he was ousted unceremoniously (and perhaps illegally from the City Council. He was
put on trial, jailed in 1951, and not released until 1956, when the civil rights movement was
gathering momentum. His friendship with the King family, based upon family ties in Atlanta,
was the ostensible cause for the FBI surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
COINTEL-PRO, the counterintelligence program of the FBI, which was aimed initially at
the CPUSA, made sure to keep a close eye on Davis as well. But when the civil rights
movement reached full strength in the 1960s Davis's controversial appearances at college
campuses helped to set the stage for a new era of activism at universities.
Davis died in 1964. According to Horne, the time has now come when he, along with
his good friend Paul Robeson and W. E. B. DuBois, should be regarded as a premier leader
of African- Americans and the U.S. Left during the twentieth century.
