Although the Cold War’s central confrontations were military and political, the U.S. and the Soviet bloc also faced off in the cultural arena. FELLOW-TRAVELERS: CULTURE AS FOREIGN POLICY IN THE EARLY COLD WAR (a scholarly book) looks at this conflict through the lens of the literary establishment: the poets, writers, critics, publishers, and professors who served in the cultural Cold War. The NEH Summer Stipend will defray travel and lodging expenses for a one-week trip to Washington, D.C. and a two-week stay in New York City for research in the archives of the Ford Foundation, State Department, CIA, and Committee for Cultural Freedom. |
