On SLSA's latest Working History podcast, "Race, Class, and Communism in the Jim Crow South," Mary Stanton discusses her book, Red, Black, White: The Alabama Communist Party, 1930-1950 (University of Georgia Press), New Deal-era political activism, and movements for racial, economic, and social justice in the Jim Crow South. Red, Black, White is the first narrative history of the American communist movement in the South since Robin D. G. Kelley's groundbreaking Hammer and Hoe, and the first to explore its key figures and actions beyond the 1930s.
