Papers of a writer and editor on social justice and labor, who was blacklisted for his refusal to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1951. The collection best illustrates Stevenson’s career as a writer and his interests in the American Southwest, the labor struggles of the New Mexican coal miners, culture and aesthetic theories, and the House Un-American Activities Committee. There is little directly concerning the Hollywood Ten. Included are personal papers, correspondence with family and business associates, and drafts, notes, and reference material from Stevenson’s many articles, essays, political writings, speeches, book reviews, editorials, books, scripts, and short stories.
