Examine how suppression of radical American, Australian, and British maritime unions, during the post-war Red Scare, has contributed to modern social and economic issues. It focusses on the US Magnuson Act of 1950, and how this suppressive legislation and the transnational impulses of which it was symptomatic, negatively affected several causes, including independence movements, and civil and gay rights. This work will analyse the critical role that trade unions can play in society by advocating for minority groups. -What did the Magnuson Act reveal about the Red Scare's effect on civil and gay rights? -Was the Magnuson Act part of a broader effort by western, liberal democracies to suppress maritime solidarity networks during the Marshall Plan and Korean War?-Can transnational anti-communism and questions of race and gay rights be examined through the prism of maritime workers and their unions in US, British, and Australian contexts?-How did anti-communist measures aimed at British and Australian maritime unions impede anti-colonialist movements? No other section of American society was more affected by the Red Scare than maritime workers and yet the Magnuson Act remains a peculiar historical blind-spot, despite its added impacts on American civil and gay rights. (The statute's last, comprehensive analysis, in the Yale Law Review, led to sporadic, subsequent examinations.) The legislation coincided with pressure exerted by the British and Australian governments on communist-dominated maritime unions, links have not previously been explored. The project will examine how the post-war suppression of radical maritime unionism contributed to long-term social inequalities in the Anglophone world of the kind that prompted the Black Lives Matter movement. The legislation initiated the largest blacklisting of workers in US history, yet historians have not fully examined how the government, unions, and civil rights organisations embraced the Magnuson Act as a mechanism by which to remove minority groups from maritime employment. The purging of allegedly subversive maritime workers constituted a pragmatic response to an uncertain international situation. The lack of research on the act's effects means that the Red Scare's scope has not been fully evaluated; nor have international factors been appraised. This project will address this by showing how the legislation connected to Anglophone suppression of radical maritime unions, and the effects on domestic and international social movements.Allen will re-examine Hofstadter's assertion that the Red Scare was something visited upon the left by a paranoid right. All available documentation will be scrutinised to establish the extent to which seemingly left-wing organisations used the Red Scare for internal and factional purposes. (The Theory of Collective Abdication may explain how organisations might marginalise minorities, in ways contrary to their ambitions.) Red Scare inhibition of civil liberties, despite earlier links between left-wing maritime unions and gay rights, demonstrate that the suppression of radical unions negatively impacted the organisation and activity of minority rights. The analysis will provide a new perspective on the Red Scare, looking beyond state persecution of minorities by examining how groups can be persecuted by organisations established to protect them. The project will be the Magnuson Act's first in-depth study and the first transnational examination of the ongoing impact on the suppression of left-wing maritime unionism.

检查战后红色恐慌期间，对激进的美国，澳大利亚和英国海事工会的抑制是如何促进现代社会和经济问题的。它的重点是1950年的《美国马格努森法》，以及这种镇压立法和跨国冲动如何有症状，对几个原因产生了负面影响，包括独立运动，以及民事和同性恋权利。这项工作将通过倡导少数群体来分析工会在社会中可以发挥的关键作用。 - 《马格努森法案》揭示了关于红色恐慌对民事和同性恋权利的影响的什么？ - 在马歇尔计划和朝鲜战争期间，西方自由民主国家在更广泛努力的更广泛努力的一部分是一部分吗？反殖民主义运动？美国社会的其他部门没有比海事工人更受到红色恐慌的影响，但尽管对美国民事和同性恋权利的影响增加了，但《马格努森法案》仍然是一个奇特的历史盲点。 （该法规的最后一次全面分析在《耶鲁法律评论》中导致了零星，随后进行了审查。）该立法与英国和澳大利亚政府对共产党主导的海上工会施加的压力相吻合，以前尚未探索链接。该项目将研究战后对激进海事工会主义的压制如何促进纳向黑人生命运动运动的英语世界中的长期社会不平等现象。这项立法启动了美国历史上最大的黑名单，但历史学家尚未完全研究政府，工会和民权组织如何将马格努森作为一种机制，旨在将少数群体从海上就业中删除。据称颠覆性海事工人的清除构成了对不确定国际局势的务实反应。对该法案效果的缺乏研究意味着红色恐慌的范围尚未得到充分评估。国际因素也没有得到评估。该项目将通过展示与激进海事工会的立法以及对国内和国际社会运动的影响有关的立法如何解决这一问题。Allen将重新检查Hofstadter的主张，即红色的恐慌是由偏执狂向左访问的左边。所有可用的文档将进行审查，以确定看似左翼组织将红色恐慌用于内部和派系目的的程度。 （集体退位理论可以解释组织如何以与野心相反的方式使少数民族边缘化。）尽管左翼海事工会与同性恋权利之间的联系较早，但红色的恐惧抑制了公民自由的抑制，这表明对激进工会的压制对少数派的组织和少数派权利的组织产生了负面影响。该分析将通过研究如何由建立的组织来保护群体，从而超越少数民族的国家对少数群体的迫害，从而超越国家对少数民族的迫害。该项目将是Magnuson Act的首次深入研究，也是对持续抑制左翼海上工会主义的持续影响的首次跨国检查。
