For colonial subjects of European empires internationally as well as black Americans, the Russian Revolution promised the hope of a world without oppression and exploitation. This conference aims to build on the growing scholarship and literature in this area to explore the impact the revolutionary events in Russia during 1917 made across the African diaspora and the subsequent critical intellectual influence of Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary \u2018black internationalism\u2019 in its aftermath. We are interested in thinking about the relationship between the Russian Revolution and the \u2018black Atlantic\u2019, so proposals of papers particularly relating to thinking through how the Russian Revolution fits with the category of the black Atlantic \u2013 and Atlantic history and Atlantic studies more broadly \u2013 would be most welcome.
