A review by wollstonecrafty
Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones by Carole Boyce Davies

i found the articulations of jones' transnational feminism and reclamation of a sort of "migrating subject" identity excellent (ie the davies' discussion and analysis of jones' position in the diaspora/pan africanism/deportation). writing was a little strange, lots of assertions of "[jones] /would have/ thought xyz thing about the future etc" and i wasn't tooo fond of the overreliance on tautological statements vs actual analysis of jones' writing. i will be reading her speeches and articles directly, particularly "International Women’s Day and the struggle for peace”
