This dissertation examines the impact of the post-World War II red scare on New York City, and particularly the influence of liberal anticommunism on the city's political culture. During the early Cold War, liberal anticommunists became influential in shaping New York's political order by creating the Liberal Party. Formed by a group of Jewish labor leaders, the Liberal Party drew on their influence and experience, gained from years of actively fighting against Communists within the city's labor unions, to realign the city's dominant political ideology away from the progressive spirit of the Popular Front, and toward a more moderate liberalism. This dissertation uses the Liberal Party as a lens through which to understand the ideology of liberal anticommunists, their influence on New York's political culture, and the role they played in the red scare as it developed in New York and nationally. The influence of liberal anticommunists on the political culture of the United States during the Cold War has garnered scant attention from historians, who have focused primarily on conservatives. The actions of liberal anticommunists in New York reflected a national development among liberals. Throughout the early Cold War, liberals around the country moved to distance themselves from Communists and their allies. Some liberals were motivated by a sincere ideological antipathy toward Communism, but overall they had a shrewd understanding that if radicals could be displaced from the political power they had enjoyed during the Popular Front, liberals would be the beneficiaries.

520 $a Additionally, this dissertation weighs the impact of the Cold War on New York's Jewish community. Communist and anti-Communist Jews used both religious and cultural appeals in their attempts to win the support of their fellow Jews. The conflict between the two forces represented an internecine struggle among New York's working and middle-class Jews to define a political ideology that would reflect their values and aspirations in the postwar period. Communists and their allies vied for Jewish support by promoting international peace. In contrast, the Liberal Party represented the views of Jews who eschewed radicalism in favor of reform, in part as a means to achieve social respectability.
