Red International and Black Caribbean : Communists in New York City, Mexico and the West Indies, 1919-1939
Stevens, Margaret2017
Book
Too often grouped together, the black radicalism movement has a history wholly separate from the international communist movement of the early twentieth century. Margaret Stevens sets out to correct this enduring misconception. Focusing on the period 1919-39, Stevens explores the political roots of a dozen Communist organizations and parties that were headquartered in New York City, Mexico, and the Caribbean. She describes the inner workings of the Red International - the revolutionary global political network established under the Communist International - in relation to struggles against racial and colonial oppression. In doing so, she also highlights how the significant victories and setbacks of black people fighting against racial oppression developed within the context of the global Communist movement.
