Anti-Imperialist Modernism, Race and Transnationalnational radical culture from the Great Depression to the Cold War
Race and Radical Transnational Culture from the Great Depression to the Cold War
Book •
Benjamin Balthaser's Anti-Imperialist Modernism uncovers a new archive of leftist writing that sought to imagine international solidarity during the rise of fascism.
Recovering forgotten novels, reportage, and popular front journalism, Balthaser reveals how writers from across the global color line recast the relationship between art and politics during the Great Depression.
These writers, black and red, fought to make the cultural field a terrain of anti-imperialist struggle, constructing a radical tradition that would survive well into the Cold War.
