Avis de l'équipe
"Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" That was the question that rocked Hollywood in the mid-20th century. Any history of Hollywood or the Cold War is incomplete without some working knowledge of the "Hollywood Blacklist", a list spurred by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (which was supported by future president Ronald Reagan, among others) designed to keep Communists and Communist-sympathizers out of work. This nine-minute audiobook, well-produced by iMinds and narrated by Luca James Lee, is intended to remind or introduce the casual listener to this important historical moment. To fill in your gaps in cultural knowledge, iMinds is a great place to start!
