Liberty Deferred and Other Living Newspapers: of the 1930s Federal Theatre Project

The Living Newspaper is invariably associated in the United States with the progressive aspects of New Deal culture, and particularly with the innovative work of the Federal Theatre Project (1935-39). The Living Newspapers in this volume treat the history of labor in the courts (Injunction Granted), medical treatment (Medicine Show), blacks in America (Liberty Deferred), and provide documentation of the Highlights of 1935. Liberty Deferred and Other Living Newspapers is a bold, penetrating investigation of a revolutionary form of theatre.
