Abstract
In the interwar period the black intelligentsia of the diaspora experienced an intensification of debates on the Soviet experience anti-colonialism and the theoretical limits of Marxism. Claude McKay and W.E.B. Du Bois are two representatives of a radical black thought that moved intensely across continents in search of the anti-colonial and anti-racist struggle. In this article some themes of this debate will be considered in order to map the linguistic context of the interwar period as well as analyze the experiences of the black diaspora in the post-Revolutionary Soviet Union in the expansion of anti-colonial and anti-racist strategies.
