During the Depression years of the early 1930s, the American Communist Party attracted significant numbers of black activists, writers and workers to its ranks. The black-led Communist paper the Liberator was both the mouthpiece and rallying point for this movement. The type of race-class politics it forged was groundbreaking at the time, but it has been consistently misunderstood and misconstrued by later historians, often writing from a 'cold war' perspective. Here, the development of the Liberator's politics is closely analysed and placed in a historical context that allows its significance for black radicalism and black struggle to emerge.
