This study details how the development and maturation of New Negro
politics and thought were shaped not only by New York-based
intellectuals and revolutionary transformations in Europe, but also
by people, ideas, and organizations rooted in the South. Claudrena
N. Harold probes into critical events and developments below the
Mason-Dixon Line, sharpening our understanding of how many black
activists- along with particular segments of the white American
Left-arrived at their views on the politics of race, nationhood,
and the capitalist political economy. Focusing on Garveyites, A.
Philip Randolph's militant unionists, and black anti- imperialist
protest groups, among others, Harold argues that the South was a
largely overlooked "incubator of black protest activity" between
World War I and the Great Depression. The activity she uncovers had
implications beyond the region and adds complexity to a historical
moment in which black southerners provided exciting organizational
models of grassroots labor activism, assisted in the revitalisation
of black nationalist politics, engaged in robust intellectual
arguments on the future of the South, and challenged the governance
of historically black colleges. To uplift the race and by extension
transform the world, New Negro southerners risked social isolation,
ridicule, and even death. Their stories are reminders that black
southerners played a crucial role not only in African Americans'
revolutionary quest for political empowerment, ontological clarity,
and existential freedom but also in the global struggle to bring
forth a more just and democratic world free from racial
subjugation, dehumanizing labor practices, and colonial oppression.
