This is a search for possible contributors to an edited volume on ethnic anti-Communist activities during the Cold War era in the United States, with a particular emphasis on such political refugee groups as Estonians, Lithuanians, Poles, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Rumanians, Czechs, Slovaks, Albanians, Bulgarians, Vietnamese, Hmong, Chinese and Cubans.
The project is in the early stages of its preparation and at this point I am searching for possible authors interested in writing a chapter on any of these particular refugee groups.
The goal of this volume is to highlight the unique approach to anti-Communism taken by these refugee groups, their politicla ideas as well as the conflicts and dilemmas they encountered while pursuing their opposition to Communism in the US between World War II and the collapse of the USSR and beyond.
Although there is quite vast literature available on the anti-Communism in the United States, the piece about the ethnic anti-Communism is consistently missing. This volume is intended as a way to reveal the complex and to this day not accounted for history of refugee political activism.
Experts on these particular refugee groups, who use historical, political science and/or sociological methods and are interested in this project are welcomed to contact the Contributing Editor:
