Abstract

A Negro Looks at Soviet Russia
Moon, Henry Lee | February 28, 1934 issue

Perhaps it is because the American Negro is so completely alienated from the main stream of life in his native land that he is so readily adaptable to the life of foreign countries. Perhaps it is because he cannot, until he has left these shores, free himself of restraints and inhibitions which frustrate his fuller enjoyment of life here. Whatever the reason may be, certainly no other native American exceeds the Negro in adaptability to the European environment. Paris has its full share of Negro expatriates, thoroughly Gallicized, harboring bitter memories, vowing never to return to America. Both France and Germany have been hospitable to the Negro, but it is the Soviet Union which extends to him the most explicitly cordial welcome
