Description

Explore a significant chapter of the cultural Cold War with The Politics of Apolitical Culture. This academic work by Giles Scott-Smith examines the formation of the Congress for Cultural Freedom and its impact on the global political landscape between 1945 and 1955. While the Congress was founded to protect cultural values and freedom of expression, its later connection to the CIA raised questions about its intellectual independence. This book provides a detailed look at how these events shaped US-European relations. By analyzing the political economy of American hegemony, Scott-Smith offers a complex perspective on the struggle for cultural influence during the early Cold War years. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in political economy, history, and the intersection of culture and international relations.
