The Communist Review is a defunct Australian magazine that was published in varying frequencies and formats from 1934 to 1966,[1] in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
History
editThe Communist Review was first published on 13 March 1934, as the official organ of the Communist Party of Australia.[2] The magazine was published continuously through to 1966.[3] However, the paper was published in a variety of different sizes and formats, and several editions during 1941 were issued as typescript duplicates.[4] When the Communist Party of Australia was made illegal by the government of Robert Menzies during 1951, the publication of the magazine continued unabated.[5] Publication of the magazine was eventually ceased after it was replaced by the Australian Left Review,[1] which at the time was considered to have a more accessible political agenda.[5]
Digitisation
editThe 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]
