Abstract
Democracy, Diaspora, and Disillusionment investigates the manner in
which black writers contributed in
a variety of ways to what I term propaganda wars by comparing the
United States to Russia and Cuba. I
trace the tensions between the newly democratic American government
and Tsarist Russia, Communist
Russia, and Socialist Cuba as well as the multiplicity of responses
to these ideals resulting from three
eras: the antebellum period, the First Red Scare, and the Second
Red Scare. As a result of their largely
unsuccessful attempts to establish national and political diasporic
communities, these authors face full-on
disillusionment in even the most "egalitarian" environs.
