Claudrena N. Harold probes into critical events and developments below the Mason-Dixon Line, sharpening our understanding of how many black activists--along with particular segments of the white American Left--arrived at their views on the politics of race, nationhood, and the capitalist political economy.

She is the author of The Rise and Fall of the Garvey Movement in the Urban South, 1918-1942 and coeditor, with Deborah E.
