Red Seas: Ferdinand Smith and Radical Black Sailors in the United States and Jamaica
ISBN: 9780814736685 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the heyday of the U.S. and international labor movements in the 1930s and 1940s, Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-command of the National Maritime Union (NMU), stands out as one of the most if not the most powerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith s active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism and shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the Red Scare in the 1950s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he...

The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America
ISBN: 9781479893409 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The successful 1776 revolt against British rule in North America has been hailed almost universally as a great step forward for humanity. But the Africans then residing in the colonies overwhelmingly sided with London. In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne complements his earlier celebrated Negro Comrades of the Crown, by showing that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. In the prelude to 1776, more and more Africans were joining the British military,...

Many African Americans viewed Britain, an early advocate of abolitionism and emancipator of its own slaves, as a powerful ally in their resistance to slavery in the Americas. This allegiance was far-reaching, from the... While it is well known that more Africans fought on behalf of the British than with the successful patriots of the American Revolution, Gerald Horne r...

A white backlash ensued that led directly to Ronald Reagan's election as governor of California in 1966.This is the first comprehensive...
