Communazis FBI Surveillance of German Emigre Writers
- List Price: $50.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 10/01/2000
Not only the FBI but also the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and other agencies spied on the German emigres. Wiretaps were installed, mail was routinely opened and read, records of visitors were maintained. Searches -- not always with legal warrants -- were conducted, informants hired, and connections to exile writers established (Thomas Mann's daughter, Erika, volunteered her insights). Stephan sets these activities in historical context and discusses the widespread xenophobia and paranoia that surrounded Nazism and Communism, which were frequently conflated in the public imagination. The author illuminates the relationship not only between German anti-Nazis and U.S. politics of the period but also between intellectuals and the modern surveillance state.
