"In "Beyond the Color Line and the Iron Curtain," Kate A. Baldwin has presented the hitherto ignored Soviet response to African American intellectuals and cultural workers. This is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand the intellectual and political range of African America in the twentieth century."--Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of "A Critique of Postcolonial Reason: Toward a History of the Vanishing Present "
