British Communism and the Politics of Race explores the role that the Communist Party of Great Britain played within the anti-racism movement in Britain from the 1940s to the 1980s. As one of the first organizations to undertake serious anti-colonial and anti-racist activism within the British labour movement, the CPGB was a pioneering force that campaigned against racial discrimination, popular imperialism and fascist violence in British society.
“Evan Smith’s British Communism and the Politics of Race provides an excellent reference work for an under-explored topic, namely the Communist Party of Great Britain’s relationship to the anti-racist movements of post-war Britain.”
—Daniel Edmonds, Labour History: A Journal of Labour and Social History
“Aiming for a better understanding of the impact the Communist Party had on anti-racist politics, [Evan Smith] has made a close reading of the party’s publications, its internal documents and the secondary literature. The result is a carefully written study of the party’s policy on race.”
—Geoff Brown, International Socialism
