description
Winner of the Ralph Bunche Award, American Political Science Association No socialist organization has ever had a more profound effect on black life than the Communist Party did in Harlem during the Depression. Mark Naison describes how the party won the early endorsement of such people as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and how its support of racial equality and integration impressed black intellectuals, including Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robeson. This meticulously researched work, largely based on primary materials and interviews with leading black Communists from the 1930s, is the first to fully explore this provocative encounter between whites and blacks. It provides a detailed look at an exciting period of reform, as well as an intimate portrait of Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, at the high point of its influence and pride.

"No socialist organization has ever had a more profound effect on black life than the Communist Party did in Harlem during the Depression. Even though the Harlem Communist Party boasted less than two thousand members at its apogee, its influence, particularly in the civil rights struggle, was far-reaching." "This work, largely based on primary materials and interviews with leading black Communists from the 1930s, is the first to fully explore this encounter between whites and blacks. It provides a detailed look at a period of reform, as well as an intimate portrait of Harlem in the 1920s and 30s, at the high point of its influence and pride."--BOOK JACKET
