- W96569130 abstract "This thesis is a study of the 1951 arrest of W.E.B. Du Bois. The arrest was a product of Cold War culture that had enveloped the United States following World War Two. Du Bois was charged with acting as an undeclared foreign agent which, in the Cold War era, implied complicity with the Soviet Union. Du Bois had established the Peace Information Center to distribute the Stockholm Peace Appeal that asked that both the Soviet Union and the United States agree not to use nuclear weapons in any first strike. The charges of disloyalty brought a variety of reactions from the African American community that illustrate the impact of Cold War culture. This thesis will argue that the African American community had by 1951, adopted Cold War cultural norms. Furthermore, African Americans, rather than being passive in the creation and dissemination of Cold War culture, were active participants in its extensive reach. The reaction of the African American press to the arrest demonstrates that the African American media, through its editorial commentary, provided guidance to the African American community on how to best respond to the Cold War. Cold War culture was expressed through a redefinition of Americanism. In other words, what it meant to be a patriotic American became attenuated in the Cold War era. Du Bois and those who supported him believed in a broader version of Americanism that had at one time been acceptable, but following the end of the Cold War was stigmatised as un-American. Consequently, while claiming to be loyal Americans, Du Bois and his allies were seen as undermining the security and prosperity of the state. Through an analysis of the African American press and Du Bois's correspondence, this thesis demonstrates how W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the foremost intellectuals and leaders of his era, came to be left out in the Cold. Acknowledgments First and foremost, I must thank my senior advisor Professor Karen Ferguson whose advice and energy are the primary reasons that this thesis was completed. Professor Ferguson never allowed me to slip and consistently provided perspicacious advice and help. I would also like to thank Professors Mark b i e r and Paul Krause for agreeing to be on my thesis committee. In addition, Professor Paige Raibmon's Methodology course helped me be a better writer for which I am grateful, and the experience of being a teaching assistant for Professors Tina Loo, Mark b i e r , and David Gagan has been invaluable. While a student at SFU I have had the privilege of working with and being challenged by a remarkable group of peers. I would especially like to thank John Monroe and Lauren Faulkner for their intellectual generosity and Ursula Gurney, Geoff Hamm, Karen Routledge, Trevor Smith, Alisa Webb, and Andrea Gill, who were willing (if captive) audiences for my many rants. Finally, I must acknowledge the administrative staff of the History Department and thank them for graciously humouring my requests throughout my time as a student at SEU. In addition to the academic community that has supported me, I must recognize the ongoing support of my family. My parents, Tim Dougherty and Christina Rudd, my sister Caitlin Dougherty, and my grandparents Betty and Bud Rudd, have all been integral parts of my life and work. Completing a thesis is a journey, and in my life, my partner for all of my journeys is my wife, Jen Perzow. Her companionship is my life's greatest joy, and her strength my greatest inspiration. This thesis has benefited from all of the people mentioned above and many others. For any insights found in these pages, the credit must go to them; the faults and weaknesses are mine alone." @default.
