From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I will use this page to collect stuff on US-expatriates (from my old persona user:radh, but also some new stuff).

Concepts

[edit]

Basically the only notice every basic book on american literary history takes (concerning US-expatriatism) is "The Lost Generation" , Paris, 1920s.


It is of course known, that young men, who did not wont to serve the military in the first World War ("slackers") went to Mexico ca. 1917; enemies the "Vietnam war" went to Canada, Sweden, and deserted in Germany, in Japan ...

And, of course, the "exile" of Afro-Americans is noted (Claude McKay, Paul Robeson, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Chester Himes, James Baldwin);

the plight of the Red Scare victims (Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman); also of victims of McCarthyism; Smith Act trials of Communist Party leaders; victims of president Harry Truman's "loyality order"; of the universities' "loyality oaths" (Natalie Zemon Davis and husband); writers, musicans, artists (George Oppen, Mary Oppen);

Stalinist, liberal victims of the Hollywood blacklist (Orson Welles [perhaps it was taxes], Nicholas Ray, Joseph Losey, Stanley Kubrick)
