Ceplair and Englund trace the history of political struggle in Hollywood back to the formation of the Screen Writers Guild in 1933. Many of the blacklisted filmmakers were members of the Communist Party and all of the graylisted filmmakers had expressed their sympathy with progressive (mainly anti-fascist) causes."--Jacket. 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z United States. 650 0 $a Blacklisting of entertainers $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160122081337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6EA4B8EC0DE11E5BC2022E7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
