What are some good sources to brush up on Left-wing politics of the 1920's USA? Specifically, I'm looking for Socialist/Communist (or "progressive") grassroots movements which staged popular protests, demonstrations, etc?
I'm writing a research paper about the grassroots Right in the 1920's and 1930's, and want to use what I'm asking for as a backdrop, but the gaps in my knowledge prevent me from doing this confidently. (Other then the obvious events, like the 19th Amendment ratified in 1920, the Harry Bridges strike, etc).
Labor unions, activists, Marxist activities — whatever you have, /his/. Thank you.

Preferably, if you recommend a book, as long as it's around 200 pages that'd be awesome. (That's how cursory of a backdrop I'm willing to provide.) Considering that I have access to my university's database subscriptions, things such as articles, other research papers, and journals are also adequate.
Once again, thank you.

Though I despise communism as it has been manifested in the past you might want to take a look at the Social Workers movement of the 20s.

Hunger Marches would be a good way to go. They were organized by the Communist Party both in Britain and America at different times.
