Looking for a nice overview (paper or book?)

by theonewhoweeps

Hello there, I’m currently writing a paper and part of it has to be about suppression of socialist ideas in America by the corporate elite. It is my plan to write something on both the Red Scares and I’m currently using “Political Economy of Labor Repression in the United States”. But it would be nice to have some additional sources that aren’t ancient like the other ones that I’ve found. Does someone on here have any suggestions for me?

Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.

As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.

Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general.
