One of my favorite books. I've read it twice. Paul Robeson, Jr.'s 2-part biography of his father includes important stories that help explain his relationship to Communism which are not found in Duberman's book. Explains a lot. This prevents Duberman's from being definitive although I always hope that he'll write an updated version. PR, Jr.'s books ultimately aren't a substitute to Duberman's far more detailed one. I agree that Robeson is one of the most fascinating Americans of the 20th century
@Xenu Happy New Year Xenu! Agreed, both Jr.'s and Duberman are essential reading though Jr. has altered or added to the Feffer story so we have to draw our own conclusions. Paul Robeson Speaks is also required reading as is the Great Forerunner. Where Jr has been of outmost help to me as a scholar is the MKULTRA information. If you google Paul Robeson, the CIA and MKULTRA super amanda, I created a time line of what occurred and what information is available.
Aye, Robeson´s a Renaissance man , indeed ! & Amanda´s an up & comin Renaissance woman ( just look at her Renaissance rear :p ) / pls read up on Joe Hill, children ! His biography is verry sad , but in da same time extremely heartenin .
Listening to you speak it seems that you're really down to earth and friendly. I know we are already on good terms but you seem very friendly, Amanda. Wow, I don't know who Joe Hill is but I saw a suggested video titled Paul Robeson, "Joe Hill". The significance is that on madden I used to always create a running back by that name nicknamed "Mighty Joe Hill" and on nba 2k11 I created a point guard by that name. Maybe it's a coincidence, though.
I've always found the concept of Black history month both ridiculous and insulting, an entire races' history compressed into a month. As if they lack the content to fill in the rest of the year. Anyway another truly great unknown is Norman Borlaug who is responsible for saving the lives of over 1billion people from starvation. Unfortunately he is not very well known.
