- PACIFISM, NONVIOLENCE, AND CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: Staughton and Alice Lynd are Quakers who practiced nonviolence in opposition to the war in Vietnam and beyond. This collections provides an in-depth exploration of these critical themes.
- SOCIALISM IN THE UNITED STATES: Lynd was a Marxist and a socialist and this significantly contributed to his understanding of U.S. history, the economy, and foreign policy. However, Lynd is an interesting figure in the history of the U.S. left because he is also Quaker and a pacifist. This led to many interesting debates in the various movements Lynd was a part of, no more important than the antiwar movement.
- THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: While the antiwar movement is rightly criticized for ignoring or marginalizing African Americans, Lynd was a figure attempting to build bridges between the two movements.
- THE COLD WAR, ANTI-COMUNISM AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE: This collection cites numerous files on Lynd created by the national security state: the FBI, the CIA, Army intelligence, the State Department, the Justice Department and the White House. Lynd was ultimately part of the anti-communist blacklist.
