The tale of New York's Young Reds--a riveting journey through the YPA's rise and influence

Young Reds in the Big Apple: The New York YPA, 1923-1934 by Jack Hodgson is a compelling historical account that delves into the heart of American communism through the lens of New York City's Young Pioneers of America (YPA). This meticulously researched book sheds light on a neglected aspect of American history, revealing the intricate details of the YPA's formation, ideologies, and activities from 1923 to 1934.

Hodgson illustrates the YPA's journey, from its early days as a branch of the Communist Party USA, intended for youth aged 8-16, to its eventual disbandment. The book explores the organization's unique structure, ethos, and activities, showcasing how it became a formidable force in New York's political landscape. He vividly portrays the YPA members' involvement in public protests, education reform, and their bold stance against prevailing social norms, including racial and gender issues.

The narrative goes beyond mere historical recounting, offering deep insights into the internal dynamics of the YPA, its relationship with the adult Communist Party, and its interactions with other political entities. Hodgson's analysis of the YPA's impact on its young members and the broader community is both insightful and thought-provoking.

Young Reds in the Big Apple stands out for its rigorous approach to a controversial subject, avoiding partisanship to provide a balanced view of the YPA's legacy. This book is not just a histori-cal account; it's an exploration of youthful activism, political movements, and the complexities of American communism during a pivotal era.
