New Masses
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 bypassed by the later additions of the fuller run of entire issues of the New Masses with all the art work in higher resolution digital scans located here.
New Masses was published monthly in the U.S. from 1926-1948, and began when some of the contributors to The Liberator were unhappy with it since being taken over by the CP. It published reportage, fiction, poetry and art by radicals of the time such as Max Eastman and his sister, Crystal, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, John Dos Passos, Josephine Herbst, and satirists Art Young and William Gropper.
