Summary:

"The marginalization of Black Americans due to White supremacy and the oppression of Indians under British colonialism featured inescapable similarities. At the turn of the twentieth century, these parallels led Indian and Black nationalists, intellectuals, and activists to share their experiences and engage in dialogues toward improving the social status of their people. Specifically, Black internationalists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Walter White, and Paul Robeson studied the Indian independence movement, and came to regard India as a template in the fight against White supremacy in the United States. Similarly, various Indians including Rabindranath Tagore, Lala Lajpat Rai, B.R. Ambedkar, and Taraknath Das theorized crucial parallels between race, colonialism, and caste when studying the experiences of Black Americans. This book analyzes how they came together in their desire to overthrow the structures that subjugated them"-- Provided by publisher
