| Opplysninger | Black and feminist internationalism in interwar Europe, 1920-1935 -- The Italian invasion of Ethiopia, the Spanish Civil war, and anti-fascist internationalism, 1935-1939 -- Internationalisms during and after World War Two, 1939-1949 -- Continuities and changes, 1950-1966.. - "Race Women Internationalists explores how a group of Caribbean and African American women in the early and mid-twentieth century traveled the world to fight colonialism, fascism, sexism, and racism. Based on newspaper articles, speeches, and creative fiction and adopting a comparative perspective, the book brings together the entangled lives of three notable but overlooked women: American Eslanda Robeson, Martinican Paulette Nardal, and Jamaican Una Marson. It explores how, between the 1920s and the 1960s, the trio participated in global freedom struggles by traveling; building networks in feminist, student, black-led, anticolonial, and antifascist organizations; and forging alliances with key leaders. This made them race women internationalists--figures who engaged with a variety of interconnected internationalisms to challenge various forms of inequality facing people of African descent across the diaspora and the continent"--Provided by publisher.
