African American Communist B.D. Amis was a major figure in the
black freedom struggle during the two decades between the world
wars. At that time, the American Communist Party (CPUSA) played a
significant role in fighting for the rights of African Americans.
Amis was part of the small circle of black radicals leading the
struggle for workers' rights and racial justice. This anthology of
his key writings and speeches reveals the deep commitment to the
working class by his generation of African American Marxists. His
classics, such as 'Lynch Justice at Work' and 'They Shall Not
Die!,' as well as his speech nominating William Z. Foster for
president at the 1936 CPUSA Convention in Chicago, are included.
This work also features important documents penned by Amis and
found in the former Soviet archives and in the private holdings of
the Amis Family. It also includes many of Amis' theoretical works
found in international documents, such as the CPUSA's International
Press Correspondence, and a selected bibliography on the research
scholarship pertaining to African Americans and communism.
