Summary In this intellectual and social history, Minkah Makalani situates an international network of black radicals and Communists in their various social networks, personal relationships, and organizational activities to demonstrate how radical ideas were produced and how they moved between those engaged in anti-colonial and anti-racist political struggles. In so doing, he demonstrates the emergence of radical black internationalism separately from, and independent of, the white Left
