Overview
Hollywood has been involved in politics since its earliest days. This book documents the entertainment industry's participation in American politics on both the Left and the Right. Spanning from the 1920s through today, this volume provides the student of history, politics, or film and media studies a detailed history of Hollywood's relationship to politics, celebrity and mass democracy, and money and politics. A general introduction and several section introductions buttress the both visual and textual documents included in Hollywood and Politics, many of which have never before been published, in order to offer the reader a rare insight into Hollywood activism.
