Targeting the city's municipal colleges and public schools, the New York state legislature's Rapp-Coudert investigation dragged hundreds of suspects before public and private tribunals to root out a perceived communist conspiracy to hijack the city's teachers unions, subvert public education, and indoctrinate the nation's youth. \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on the vast archive of Rapp-Coudert records, \u003ci\u003eBad Faith \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the first full history of this witch-hunt, which lasted from August 1940 to March 1942. Anticipating McCarthyism and making it possible, the episode would have repercussions for decades to come. \u003cbr\u003e In recapturing this moment in the history of prewar anticommunism, \u003ci\u003eBad Faith\u003c\/i\u003e challenges assumptions about the origins of McCarthyism, the liberal political tradition, and the role of anticommunism in modern American life. With roots in the city's political culture, Rapp-Coudert enjoyed the support of not only conservatives but also key liberal reformers and intellectuals who, well before the Cold War raised threats to national security, joined in accusing communists of \"bad faith\" and branded them enemies of American democracy. \u003cbr\u003e Exploring fundamental schisms between liberals and communists, \u003ci\u003eBad Faith\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers a dark, \"countersubversive\" side of liberalism, which involved charges of misrepresentation, lying, and deception, and led many liberals to argue that the communist left should be excluded from American educational institutions and political life. This study of the Rapp-Coudert inquisition raises difficult questions about the good faith of the many liberals willing to aid and endorse the emerging Red scare, as they sacrificed principles of open debate and academic freedom in the interest of achieving what they believed would be effective modern government based on bipartisanship and a new and seemingly permanent economic prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART I: The Hearings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Threshold 21\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Stooge Grebanier 36\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eCoudertism 54\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e Vichy's Lawyer? 70\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART II: Class War\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e The Dewey Trial 85\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6\u003c\/b\u003e The Educational Front 108\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e Far from the Ivory Tower 129\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART III: The Mortal Storm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8\u003c\/b\u003e Bad Faith 149\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e9 \u003c\/b\u003eCCNY 174\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e10 \u003c\/b\u003eFlirting with the Right 195\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e11 \u003c\/b\u003eCommunism on Trial 212\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e12\u003c\/b\u003e Aftermath 227\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: The Coudert Legacy 241\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/b\u003e255\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbbreviations Used in the Endnotes\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes \u003c\/b\u003e265\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex \u003c\/b\u003e317\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Empire State Editions","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580330078488,"sku":"9780823281152","price":28.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bad-faith-teachers-liberalism-and-the-origins-of-mccarthyism-paperback-softback-9780823281152","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
