Klappentext Opposing Jim Crow examines the Soviet policy of antiracism from 1928 to 1937, when leaders gained propagandistic value at home and abroad by drawing attention to U.S. racism and the routine violation of human rights that African Americans suffered as U.S. citizens.    Zusammenfassung Before the Nazis came to power in Germany, Soviet officials labelled the United States the most racist country in the world.
