American Hunger, the second part of Richard Wright’s autobiography, focuses on his life in Chicago, Illinois, from 1927 to 1937. The book was written in 1944. The Northern experience recurs as a new slave narrative. It demonstrates how modern African Americans were deceived. Wright opens the text in 1927, when nineteen-year-old Richard, his alter ego, arrives in Chicago with his Aunt Maggie. Wright juxtaposes the terms “strange” and “familiar” to express Richard’s dismay at seeing African (...)

Despite November’s 4 trillion yuan infrastructure package, (...) -

Announcement of OKDE on the "Macedonian" Agreement
4 July 2018, by Robert ParisAnnouncement of OKDE on the "Macedonian" Agreement
1. The "Macedonian issue", the outcome of which is the Tsipras-Zaev agreement, was rushed at the end of 2017. Not because the new Zaev government had just ascended to power in neighboring Macedonia (the result of essentially a putschist, led by the American imperialists, overthrow of the previous Gruevski government). Neither because Tsipras wanted to close a pending issue, and so on. The issue was opened up by the American and European (...) -
African or African american militant poetry
18 November 2010, by Robert ParisI Have Seen Black Hands
I am black and I have seen black hands

Of white workers,

From the slums to the suburbs
From upcountry to the cities
Arise!

Makhno
22 septembre 2009, par Robert ParisTHE MAKHNO MOVEMENT
There is Soviet Great Russia and there is the Soviet Ukraine.
And besides them there is also another, little-known state, namely, Gulyay-Polye. This is ruled by the headquarters of a certain Makhno. To start with, he had a guerrilla detachment, then a brigade, then, apparently, a division, and now all this has been repainted almost into a special insurgent ‘army’. Against whom are Makhno’s men rebelling ? This question needs to be given a clear answer – an answer in (...) -
