Reviews for Black Communists Speak on Scottsboro
"... offers a unique blend of primary sources on the Scottsboro case and the campaign by black Communists to liberate the nine young African American ... this rich collection of documents provide a window into the day-by-day and year-by-year struggles waged by American and international Communists around the Scottsboro defense." Gerald Zahavi "Howard provides insights into the modern civil rights struggle with this edited volume on the campaign by black American communists to free the defendants in the infamous Powell v. Alabama case... Howard includes an overview essay that provides a strong context for the documents included in the text. Summing Up: Recommended." Choice "Howard's Black Communists Speak on Scottsboro adds to this burgeoning literature [of scholarly inquiry into the history of the black Left] and promises to renew old debates as well as spawn new ones regarding black radicals' complex relationship with the international Left...Skilled essayists, [the contributors] effectively situated the Scottsboro case within the larger context of the international working class' political, legal, and economic struggles... [T]he selections do constitute a welcome addition to any classroom exploring the black radical tradition and the American left."- The Journal of Southern History, Feb 2009
