First edition - Victor Gollancz Left Book Club edition - 'not for sale to the public.' ***A very good copy in the standard LBC salmon-pink paper-covered thin boards, with black titles. The covers are quite clean with just some light marks and rubbing comme…nsurate with age and handling. The front board has some light vertical creasing, but there are no tears, just some slight fraying and creasing at the corners. Edges slightly creased and rubbed. The fragile paper covering is slightly faded on the spine, but the spine is tight with no tears. Some darkening to the top edge of the page block. Internally the book is also very good with no inscriptions. The pages are clean, with none of the usual foxing to the preliminary and last pages. No creases or tears. The paper stock has tanned over the decades due to the cheap paper stock that Victor Gollancz publications were noted for. There is slight splitting at the gutter at the title page, but the binding is holding. No dustwrapper as issued. ***576 pages. 225mm x 144mm. ***Contents: Preface, BOOK ONE - Chapter I.

New Found Land, III. Hedda, IV. Eisenstein's Holy Grail, V. Turning Points. ***'This narrative is rooted in the belief that mankind is passing through a major transformation. The dissolution of capitalism compares in scope and significance with the origins of private property, the beginnings of Christianity, the ascendancy of the bourgeoisie. It is my conviction that socialism will effect much greater and more salutary changes in the life of man than any of the great historic turning points which preceded it. ***'Joseph Freeman (1897-1965) was an American writer and magazine editor. He is best remembered as an editor of The New Masses, a literary and artistic magazine closely associated with the Communist Party USA, and as a founding editor of the magazine Partisan Review. He was born Oct 7, 1897, in the village of Piratin, part of the Poltava district in the Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian empire. Freeman's parents, Stella and Isaac Freeman, were of ethnic Jewish extraction, forced to live in the Pale of Settlement by the anti-semitic laws of the Tsarist regime. His parents worked as shopkeepers. Along with hundreds of thousands of others fleeing ethnic violence in Russia, the Freemans emigrated to the United States in 1904. Joseph was naturalized as a US citizen in 1920. In the new world, they managed to achieve a middle class existence in Brooklyn, New York. Freeman became a member of the Workers Party of America, forerunner of the Communist Party USA during this interval. He was subsequently active in various mass organizations of the party, including the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born and the All-America Anti-Imperialist League. In 1926, Freeman became a co-founder and a founding editor of The New Masses magazine. He was also a founding editor of the magazine Partisan Review in 1934, a publication which touted itself as "A Bi-Monthly of Revolutionary Literature Published by the John Reed Club of New York."''

June 1931 issue of the periodical New Masses, featuring a cover by renowned cartoonist Jacob Burck, which depicts a young black teen being lynched,most likely referring to the unjust treatment of African Americans in the 1930's American South. Includes book and film reviews, and notes on the developing Scottsboro Boys case, a la…ndmark set of legal cases regarding an alleged rape of two white women on a train car by nine Black teenagers, later proven to be a total fabrication, and now known as a textbook example of a legal injustice. The Communist Party and NAACP teamed up to appeal the decision and obtain some form of justice for the innocent young men, which they were only partially successful in achieving. New Masses had an impressive list of contributors, from 20th century literary giants like Hemingway, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, John Dos Passos, Upton Sinclair, to working class artists and writers. This issue is replete with cartoons and illustrations in a social realist style, and covers domestic world events from a Communist perspective at the height of the Depression, which reinvigorated the movement. In very good condition overall.
