Description
Pan-Africanism and Communism: The Communist International, Africa and the Diaspora, 1919-1939 by Hakim Adi This book explores the complex relationship between the Communist International and the global struggle for African liberation during the inter-war period. The focus is on the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers, established in 1928, and its activities in Africa, the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. The ITUCNW played a significant role in promoting the interests of African workers and intellectuals, while also advocating for the rights of the African diaspora. Adi examines the ways in which the Communist International supported and sometimes hindered the growth of Pan-Africanism, shedding light on a pivotal moment in modern African history. Through its analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the intersection of communism, colonialism, and anti-colonialism in the early 20th century.
