Description

This book from the 1930s pierces right to the heart of American politics today. In these discussions with communists active in the labor movement, Trotsky defended the ideas of Black nationalism long before they were understood by American political activists. Trotsky emphasized that for good reason many Black workers saw white workers as part of the system of oppression. Communists-white and Black-must be in the front ranks of the fight for Black rights, up to and including support for a Black party that fights for an independent Black nation.
