- Abstract
The article traces the history of the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers (ITUCNW), a Communist International (Comintern)-inspired pan-Africanist organization, in the early 1930s. The author focuses on the cooperation and conflicts between the ITUCNW and several other Comintern organizations, including the Red International of Labour Unions (RGI/RILU), the League Against Imperialism, and the Internationale der Seefahrer und Hafenarbeiter (International of Seafarers and Dock Workers, ISH). Other issues considered include the political views of ITUCNW leaders James W. Ford and George Padmore, ITUCNW's role as an anticolonial movement, and its connections to the media company of Communist publisher and propagandist Willi Münzenberg.
