The Liberator


NOTE: Readers should not that this page is a legacy page from earlier in the history of the Marxists Internet Archive. It has since been superceeded by the later additions of the full run of all the issues of the The Liberator with all the art work in higher resolution digital scans located here.


When the U.S-published radical monthly, The Masses, was forced to shut down in 1917, several of the people involved, including Max Eastman and Art Young started the The Liberator. In 1922 when Robert Minor took over the editorship, it became an organ of the Communist Party and later renamed The Workers' Monthly. By 1926 several people involved with the original Liberator, began publishing the New Masses. Some of the major cartoonists to contribute to The Liberator were Art Young, Robert Minor, Cornelia Barns and William Gropper.
