Description
The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean: How Settler Colonial Violence Shaped Antileft Repression by Tariq D. Khan. The relationship between America's colonizing wars and virulent anticommunism is complex and deeply rooted in the nation's history of internal repression and social control. This book explores how the state used tactics, weapons, myths, and ideology refined in these conflicts to repress anarchists, labor unions, and other groups labeled as radical or threatening. Khan charts the decades of red scares that began in the 1840s, revealing how capitalists and government used counterinsurgency rhetoric and tactics against perceived threats. A bold and original analysis, The Republic Shall Be Kept Clean offers a new perspective on the nation's history with relevance for our own time.
