Contents Straight socialism or negro-ology? Diaspora, Harlem, and the institutions of Black radicalism -- Liberating Negroes everywhere: Cyril Briggs, the African Blood Brotherhood, and radical pan-africanism -- With all forces menacing empire: Black and Asian radicals internationalize the Third International -- An outcast here as outside: nationality, class, and building racial unity -- An incessant struggle against White supremacy: anticolonial struggles and Black international connections -- The rise of a Black international: George Padmore and the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers -- An international African opinion: diasporic London and Black radical intellectual production -- Epilogue: a vitality and validity of its own.
Summary In this intellectual and social history, Minkah Makalani situates an international network of black radicals and Communists in their various social networks, personal relationships, and organizational activities to demonstrate how radical ideas were produced and how they moved between those engaged in anti-colonial and anti-racist political struggles. In so doing, he demonstrates the emergence of radical black internationalism separately from, and independent of, the white Left.
