Description

This scholarly examination explores the Congress for Cultural Freedom and its pivotal role in Cold War cultural politics between 1945 and 1955. The book investigates how an organisation ostensibly dedicated to defending cultural values and freedom of expression became entangled with CIA operations, compromising its claims to intellectual independence. Giles Scott-Smith provides an in-depth analysis of the Congress's formation and early years whilst situating these developments within the broader context of US-European relations. The work reveals the complex political economy underlying what was presented as a purely cultural initiative, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how state power shaped intellectual and artistic discourse during the early Cold War period. This Routledge publication, part of the Political Studies Series, serves as essential reading for anyone studying Cold War history, cultural politics, or American hegemony.
