520 |a "Jewish American communist writer and cultural figure Michael Gold (1893-1967) was a key progressive author of his generation, yet today his work is too often forgotten. A novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, journalist and editor, Gold was the leading advocate of leftist, proletarian literature in the United States between the world wars. His acclaimed autobiographical novel Jews Without Money (1930) is a vivid account of early-twentieth-century immigrant life in the tenements of Manhattan's Lower East Side. Patrick Chura traces Gold's story from his impoverished youth, through the period of his fame during the "Red Decade" of the 1930s, and into the McCarthy era, when he was blacklisted and forced to work menial jobs to support his family. In his time as a radical writer-activist, Gold courageously helped strikes, protested against war and fascism, worked for the Unemployed Councils, walked in hunger marches and May Day parades, got arrested in support of Sacco and Vanzetti, raised money for workers' cooperatives and leftist journalism, and demonstrated for fair housing, the Rosenbergs, civil rights, and against nuclear weapons. This biography welcomes Gold back into cultural conversations about art, literature, politics, social change, and Jewish American life in the twentieth century"--  |c Provided by publisher.
