Hi Anne- I’m still gathering information and reading about Kea. Nothing in the works yet. I look forward to seeing the anthology on Black Women’s Internationalism! sounds great.

Oh, that’s so great to hear! Are you writing about Kea? I’m finalizing a chapter for an anthology on Black Women’s Internationalism about black women’s life writing and the Spanish Civil War that discusses the ambulance fundraising tour around the south & midwest of the US that Kea & Thyra Edwards undertook in 1938 (and Edwards’s scrapbook…[Read more]

Anne- I have your article from the Mass. Review on Cunard in my file on Salaria Kea- I’ll definitely look for your book. African American women in the SPW is such a rich and understudied area. So glad to make this connection with you!

So glad that you all are here! My own work has circled around African Americans and the Spanish Civil War. I edited a chapbook of correspondence and poems: Langston Hughes, Nancy Cunard & Louise Thompson: Poetry, Politics & Friendship in the Spanish Civil War. I’ve also written about Cunard’s SCW scrapbook, and have some writing in the works a…[Read more]

Although I’m doing a PhD at Sussex University on debtors’ sanctuaries in c18th London, I have a strong interest in Spain & Spanish history, which I’d like to develop more seriously.

Especially interested in digitial history, and using computational techniques on historical data.

The Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) has digitized much of the Comintern’s materials on the International Brigades (fond 545). The site is most easily navigated if you can read Russian, but there is some English translation, and the archives are in many languages.
