Series IV: Philippines
Scope and Content Note
The Philippines series contains Allen's lengthy 1939 report on his work there; accompanying notes and documents; his correspondence regarding arrangements for his trip and subsequent correspondence, much of it regarding the writing and publication of Allen's The Radical Left on the Eve of War (1985); some correspondence with William J. Pomeroy, a Communist and author of several books about the Philippines; photographs from Allen's time in the Philippines, intended for use in his memoir; an untitled thesis by Antonio S. Araneta, Jr. (c1965) on the history of Communism in the Philippines; and an untitled anonymous book-length typescript on the same subject (possibly by Allen). A file of correspondence, working drafts, articles, and other materials created or collected by Isabelle Auerbach on the subject of the Philippines is also included.
