events

In this online seminar, Brendan McGeever (Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism and Swarthmore College) explores how Black radicals in Harlem began to articulate a new analysis of race and class which drew them, increasingly, to analyse anti-Jewish violence in revolutionary Russia, and uncovers a multidirectional account of the pogrom; one that envelops both Black and Jewish histories.
