[0122] The American Radicalism Collection [partly digital collection]

Location: Special Collections, Michigan State University Libraries, 100 Main Library, 366 W. Circle Drive, East Lansing, MI 48824

Description: The American Radicalism Collection holds over 17,000 books, pamphlets, periodicals, posters, and ephemera covering a wide range of viewpoints on political, social, economic, and cultural issues and movements in the United States and throughout the world. The emphasis in the collection is on materials produced by radical groups, both left and right. While the American Radicalism Collection is strongest in publications from the American Left in the twentieth century, as well as in resources for the study of American Labor History, there is considerable material from the right, including the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920's and 1930's, neo-Nazi organizations, and the Christian Right. Among the component collections in the American Radicalism Collection are the Alternative Press Collection, the Edith and Arthur Fox Collection, The American Radicalism Vertical File, the Ku Klux Klan Collection, and the Arsenal Collection. All of these collections are searchable in the Michigan State University Libraries catalogue (web addresses below). The Alternative Press Collection features subscriptions, back files, and sample issues of a wide range of alternative magazines and newspapers. Approximately 1,200 titles are represented. Publications of the political parties of the left and racist and neo-Nazi organizations of the right are included. The Edith and Arthur Fox Collection has pamphlets, election material, and shop papers collected by Edith and Arthur Fox, who were long-time political and labor activists in Detroit and Socialist Workers candidates for Presidential Elector for Michigan. Series 2 – Political and Labor Activities, contains files on CIO – McCarran Act, CPUSA (Opposition), McCarran Act, Smith Act, and Taft-Hartley Act. The Ku Klux Klan Collection consists of items from the 1920's and 1930's, a period of growth in the Klan's history. Constitutions, installation ceremonies, advertisements for Klan merchandise, and the role of women in the Klan are all included from this period. There are also copies of the Kourier, the official monthly magazine of the Knights of the KKK; secondary studies of the Klan, as well as the research materials used by Wyn Wade in his book, The Fiery Cross (1987); and a large collection of United Klans of America material.
