The Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) existed during the Cold-War and gathered prominent intellectuals to oppose the violence, oppression and threat to freedom posed by Soviet Communism. Adopting a Gramscian perspective, this work examines the links between politics and culture on the international level and provides an analysis and history of the CCF.
