The article makes the case that Jones’ denial of citizenship, legal harassment, and later expulsion was not merely a product of the transgression of the restrictive Cold War limitation of freedom of speech but instead concretely related to her Blackness. Jones is placed as a key figure in challenging the economic determinism within party thought, placing emphasis on her as a trailblazer in position racial oppression as a form of racialised social control which transcended a purely economic basis. This was a form of social control that political and economic elites exploited to control working-class and minority populations and prevent working-class unity. Her involuntary border-crossing experiences are shown to reveal how anticommunism, white supremacy, and gender-based oppression cohered in post-war America, shaping Jones’ ideas which would challenge fellow communists on both sides of the Atlantic. 001474438 6531_ $$aClaudia Jones, Deportation 001474438 7001_ $$aLynn, Denise$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana$$10000-0002-3170-3644 001474438 773__ $$tTwentieth Century Communism 001474438 8564_ $$908f25bc4-625d-4f1b-94fb-fe89bffc483c$$s182850$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1474438/files/Deporting%20Black%20Radicalism%20paper.pdf 001474438 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1474438$$pGLOBAL_SET 001474438 980__ $$aMANUSCRIPT
