Dr. Gerald Horne

Dr. Gerald Horne est un historien afro-américain, auteur, et communiste qui détient actuellement la John J. et Rebecca Moores chaire d'histoire et d'Afro-américain des études à l'Université de Houston. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and a J.D. de l'Université de Californie, Berkeley. Il est un collaborateur régulier de la revue des questions politiques.

Un auteur prolifique, 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 particulier, communist struggles and struggles against imperialism, colonialisme, 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(Jamaïcaine communiste, marin, dirigeant syndical), the perplexing Lawrence Dennis, un raciste américain fasciste et qui passait pour le blanc, et la féministe, anti-colonialiste, internationalist intellectual Shirley Graham DuBois whose own career was overshadowed by that of her famous husband.
