Much less do they consider that these covertly militaristic activities have anything to do with culture.' So writes Mark Krismanson in this important study of the intertwining activities and careers of those involved in Canada's security agencies and in the state-sanctioned culture industry during the delight of the Cold War. The connections between secret intelligence and culture might appear to be merely coincidental. Both the spies and the arts people worked with words, with symbols and hidden meanings, with ideas. They had regular informal luncheons together in Ottawa. Some members of the intelligence community even found careers in the arts. Less than a decade after defecting, the Russian Igor Gouzenko wrote a pulp fiction Cold War spy novel- for which he received a Governor General's award. And Peter Dwyer, Britain's top security official in North America during World War II, was a playwright who after the war worked in Canada's intelligence community before drafting the founding for the Canada Council and becoming its first director. But Plateaus of Freedom details much more than a casual relationship between security and the arts. As Kristmanson demonstrates, 'the censorship-intelligence-propaganda complex that proliferated in Canada after World War II played a counterpoint between national culture and state security, with the result that freedom, especially intellectual freedom, plateaued on the principle of nationality.' The security and cultural policy measures examined here, from the RCMP investigations at the National Film Board that led to numerous firings, to the harassment of the extraordinary African-American singer and Soviet sympathizer Paul Robeson, 'attest to the fragility and the enduring power of art to effect social change'. 410 0$aCanadian social history series. 606 $aPolitics and culture$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArt and state$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aInternal security$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIntelligence service$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aCanada$xCultural policy 607 $aCanada$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aArt and state$xHistory 615 0$aInternal security$xHistory 615 0$aIntelligence service$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a971.063 700 $aKristmanson$b Mark$f1960-$01281782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819307703321 996 $aPlateaus of freedom$94065622 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06187oam 2201033 c 450 001 9910265133203321 005 20260202090927.0 010 $a9783839432259 010 $a3839432251 024 7 $a10.14361/9783839432259 035 $a(CKB)3710000000520068 035 $a(EBL)4712089 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4712089 035 $a(DE-B1597)461572 035 $a(OCoLC)940674992 035 $a(OCoLC)960758215 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783839432259 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6695285 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6695285 035 $a(ScCtBLL)3d7d0137-d159-4002-a5bd-c5e5e8e0f451 035 $a(transcript Verlag)9783839432259 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37829 035 $a(Perlego)1464142 035 $a(oapen)doab37829 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000520068 100 $a20260202d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 12$aA Spectre is Haunting Arabia$eHow the Germans Brought Their Communism to Yemen$fMiriam M.

Archival Documents 425 330 $aRadical ideologies may manifest differently at first, but they do follow a similar logic: truth claims, promises of salvation and a unifying common enemy. In Yemen's transition process today, the secessionist movement Al-Hirak has summoned the spirit of South Yemen, the only Marxist state in Arabia. This book meticulously describes how East Germany supported the implantation of this alien ideology in Yemen through its policy of »Socialist state- and nation-building«. In the same breath, the analysis captures the GDR's activities in the Middle East and their vital role in Moscow's Cold War strategy. Last but least, the study provides one of the few compact overviews of East German foreign policy in the English language of today. 330 1 $a»[The] work stands as a great example of the strength of an open-minded interdisciplinary approach and should serve as both an encouragement and a reminder that the history of the GDR's foreign policy (not only) in Yemen has not yet been conclusively written. Thanks to Müller's book, future scholars will have a strong and solid foundation from which to continue writing the history of this peculiar ?Spectre?.« 330 1 $a»Die Arbeit schließt eine wichtige Lücke in der Forschung zur DDR-Geschichte.« 330 1 $a»Das Verdienst des Buches [ist es], gewohnte Forschungsperspektiven gewechselt und den Komplex des ostdeutsch-südjemenitischen Verhältnisses in einen größeren ? primär das englischsprachige Publikum adressierenden ? politikwissenschaftlich-theoretischen Kontext gerückt zu haben, indem er als ?socialist state- and nation-building? gefasst wurde.« 330 1 $a»Insgesamt bietet Müllers Werk den ersten, auf deutschem Archivmaterial basierenden Überblick über die ostdeutsch-südjemenitischen Beziehungen.
