Socialist Book Club: Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression by Robin D. G. Kelley (Ch. 1 - 5)
Sunday, July 23rd, 4 PM
Cafe Delite
3135 Caniff St, Hamtramck, MI 48212
A groundbreaking contribution to the history of the "long Civil Rights movement," Hammer and Hoe tells the story of how, during the 1930s and 40s, Communists took on Alabama's repressive, racist police state to fight for economic justice, civil and political rights, and racial equality. The Alabama Communist Party was made up of working people without a Euro-American radical political tradition: devoutly religious and semi-literate black laborers and sharecroppers, and a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, housewives, youth, and renegade liberals. In this book, Robin D. G. Kelley reveals how the experiences and identities of these people from Alabama's farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the Party's tactics and unique political culture. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals. PDF Link <[link removed]>

Detroit DSA is a member-funded organization. We receive no money from outside sources so we can say things like "Defund the Police" and "Abolish ICE" without losing funding, and we will always act democratically in the interests of our members and the working class! If you're able to, we ask that you make contributions as they more directly benefit our chapter. Thank you!
