The '''New Masses''' was a [[Marxist]] journal which published articles on the philosophy and international movement of socialism. It was originally formed in 1926 in response to the taking over of the predominate [[left wing]] publication ''The Liberator'' by the [[American Communist Party]], however was later backed by the organisation. The New Masses ceased production in 1948 amid growing anti-communist sentiment.
Well known writers include Max Eastman, Richard Wright, Josephine Herbst and Carl Sandburg.
