Print Networks in the Black Atlantic World, c. 1920–1960
This chapter opens by establishing the tangible personal connections between writers and intellectuals in Africa and the Caribbean. By way of these networks, African print made its way into Caribbean publications. It then identifies some of the styles and genres of African writing produced in the Caribbean. Next, we use the example of Jamaica to consider the differing networks print media followed into and through the diaspora during the mid-twen…

Beyond Antagonism
This essay proposes a reappraisal of Otto and Hermina Huiswoud's engagement with the Caribbean. The Huiswouds do not fit neatly in the stories of British Caribbean revolt of the 1930s, nor do they appear to be major figures shaping what was happening. They typically appear in tales of antagonism between two other major features of the decade: Garveyism and the Black Communist fellow travelers who departed the Comintern while they remained. Both i…
The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This major new reference work with contributions from an international team of scholars provides a comprehensive account of ideas and practices of nationhood and nationalism from antiquity to the present. It considers both continuities and discontinuities, engaging critically and analytically with the scholarly literature in the field. Volume I starts with a series of case studies of classical civilizations. It then explores a wide range of pivot…
Decolonization and the Cold War
There is a rather obvious convergence point between the Cold War, decolonization, and nationhood. The end of formal European colonial rule across most of the globe in the mid-twentieth century precipitated new states, on old territory, which required a national identity for legitimacy. In colonies where colonial rule ended through violent armed struggle, that armed struggle required a particularly potent vision of what people were fighting for. O…

Blood Brothers
In British West African and Caribbean colonies in the 1930s fascism felt urgently close to people's lived reality. Grappling with the nature of fascism, by comparing it with their lived reality under colonialism, became a site of critical intellectual debate. Yet genealogies of ideas about fascism have overwhelmingly tended to historicise and theorise fascism's intellectual history from Europe. Histories that include arguments about fascism by co…

Introduction
A growing literature explores the varying role of print media in the colonial world and the new types of publics such newspapers and periodicals produced. However, this literature has tended to focus on specific regions, and has often sidestepped the larger question of how to conceptualise the relationship between print media and colonial rule. While some have used the term ‘colonial public sphere’ or ‘colonial publics,’ others have preferred to …
The Flying Newspapermen and the Time-Space of Late Colonial Nigeria
Recent scholarship on Indian, African, and Caribbean political thinkers and leaders emphasizes the era leading up to and immediately after decolonization as one saturated with awareness of time and history. While much of this scholarship focuses on temporalities that open up the future, this article instead foregrounds imaginings of the present in the currency of news reports. By examining newspaper reports, we can attend in a different way to re…

Robeson Taj Frazier. The East Is Black
“Travel control,” journalist William Worthy tells us in Robeson Taj Frazier’s new book, The East Is Black: Cold War China in the Black Radical Imagination, “is thought control and intellectual control” (107). Worthy came to this conclusion in 1962, after half a decade of very public battles with the U.S. State Department over his passport, which he refused to surrender after his job as a reporter in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) brought hi…

This article scrutinises attempts by the British Foreign and Colonial Office to control information in its colonies between 1946 and 1950. Several factors combined to alter the ground on which colonial officials operated in this period: an emerging ‘Cold War’ between Britain and its wartime Soviet ally, international debates about creating an enforceable catalogue of ‘human rights' and a heightened emphasis on public relations within British colo…
