Red Seas: Ferdinand Smith And Radical Black Sailors In The United States And Jamaica,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
During the heyday of the U.S. and international labor movements in the 1930s and 1940s, Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaicanborn cofounder and secondincommand of the National Maritime Union (NMU), stands out as one of the mostif not the mostpowerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smiths active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism and shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the Red Scare in the 1950s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he continued his radical labor and political organizing until his death in 1961.Gerald Horne draws on Smiths life to make insightful connections between labor radicalism and the Civil Rights Movementdemonstrating that the gains of the latter were propelled by the former and undermined by anticommunism. Moreover, Red Seas uncovers the littleknown experiences of black sailors and their contribution to the struggle for labor and civil rights, the history of the Communist Party and its black members, and the significant dimensions of Jamaican labor and political radicalism.
