The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not just a world-historical
event in its own right, but also struck powerful blows against
racism and imperialism, and so inspired many black radicals
internationally. This edited collection explores the implications
of the creation of the Soviet Union and the Communist International
for black and colonial liberation struggles across the African
diaspora. It examines the critical intellectual influence of
Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary 'black
internationalism' and analyses how 'Red October' was viewed within
the contested articulations of different struggles against racism
and colonialism. Challenging European-centred understandings of the
Russian Revolution and the global left, The Red and the Black
offers new insights on the relations between Communism, various
lefts and anti-colonialisms across the Black Atlantic - including
Garveyism and various other strands of Pan-Africanism. The volume
makes a major and original intellectual contribution by making the
relations between the Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic
central to debates on questions relating to racism, resistance and
social change. -- .
