Unearthing the writings of African American Communists and the forgotten promise of radical politics through primary sources

This detailed investigation of Communists and their Party in the hard coal fields of northeastern Pennsylvania draws on sources such as the central archives of the Communist Party of the United States to examine the origins, growth, and decline of the relatively small but active Marxist-Leninist organization that operated there during the first half of the 20th century.
