Papers, 1929-1973 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006563

Correspondence, article manuscripts, speeches, travel notes, biographical data, course syllabi, articles, and other papers of Dean, an autobiography of her mother, Nadine Micheles, as well as FPA records and manuscripts or partial manuscripts of Dean's books: Europe in Retreat, The Struggle for World Order, South America Looks at the Future, The United States and Russia, Foreign Policy Without Fear, The United Nations Today, and others. The subjects of Dean's writings and speeches reflect her concern in the 1930s and 1940s with Eurpean fascism and Soviet foreign policy, and from the 1950s onward, with the development problems of non-Western nations. There is also some documentation of the controversy concerning the work of Dean and the FPA during the McCarthy era.
