Survey of Periodicals
American Communist History – A new journal. The »Historians of American Communism« have begun a
new journal, American Communist History, in partnership with Carfax/Taylor & Francis, U.K.
More Information on the journal can be found at:
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/routledge/14743892.html.
The new journal will initially appear twice a year. The existing HOAC Newsletter will shift from
quarterly publication to twice a year. American Communist History will publish substantive
articles, essays on documents and archival resources, reviews of media and books,
bibliographies, and the full array of material common to research journals. American
Communist History will be the impartial, leading journal for scholarship about the history of
the Communist Party in the United States and its social, political, economic and cultural
impact on its members, on its opponents, and the public at large. The journal will deal with
the American party and with the various outside influences which have dealt with its
representation, with the controversial folklore that has been engendered about it, and with
the many differing views about its antecedents, and its diverse opponents on the left and right.
While rooted in the United States, the journal welcomes contributions which are transnational
or international in scope. Subscription to American Communist History will be included in
HOAC dues, which will rise from $15 for individuals to $25 a year (subscription for non-
members will be $56).
