Communist Review
Australian magazine (1934–1966)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History
The Communist Review was launched on 13 March 1934, as the official organ of the Communist Party of Australia.[2] The magazine was published continuously through 1966.[3] However, it appeared in a variety of sizes and formats, and several editions during 1941 were issued as typescript duplicates.[4] When the Communist Party of Australia was made illegal in 1951 by the government of Robert Menzies, publication of the magazine continued unabated.[5] The Communist Review eventually ceased after it was replaced by the Australian Left Review,[1] which at the time was considered to have a broader political agenda.[5]
Digitisation
The various editions of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program, a project hosted by the National Library of Australia.[6]
