Dr.. Gerald Horne

Dr.. Gerald Horne es un historiador afroamericano, autor, y comunista que ocupa actualmente la John J. y Rebecca Moores Cátedra de Historia y Estudios Afroamericanos de la Universidad de Houston. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and a J.D. de la Universidad de California, Berkeley. Él es un colaborador frecuente de la revista Asuntos Políticos.

Autor prolífico, Horne has published on W. E. B. Dubois and has written books on a wide range of neglected but by no means marginal or minor episodes of world history. He specializes in illuminating previously obscure or misrepresented struggles of humanity for social justice, en particular, communist struggles and struggles against imperialism, colonialismo, fascism, and racism. Individuals whose lives his work has highlighted in their historical contexts have included the blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter John Howard Lawson, Ferdinand Smith(Comunista, nacido en Jamaica, marinero, líder sindical), the perplexing Lawrence Dennis, un racista afroamericano fascista y que pasaba por blanco, y la feminista, anticolonialista, internationalist intellectual Shirley Graham DuBois whose own career was overshadowed by that of her famous husband.
