This is typical of the bourgeois academic community – and perhaps to be expected of someone who has infiltrated and made his own way (successfully) in the White world (there are realities of “race” and “racism” that require navigating to avoid exclusion and ostracization). Indeed, even on the far-left, people like Claudia Jones are omitted from the general history and this stems from as yet un recognised and untreated disease of racism that exists on the left. The left lives in a world where it feels it occupies the moral high-ground because the USSR conquered racism. This “conquering” did not spread outside the USSR and the left in the West has no right to associate itself with it. Furthermore, from 1956 onwards, the USSR pursued a subtle but distinct “White” (Russian nationalistic) approach to the spread of Communism – as non-White China was demonised for daring to support Stalin against the lies perpetuated by Khrushchev. Although Claudia Jones did receive medical care in the USSR – and met Mao Zedong in 1964 (twice) – as part of an anti-racist and anti-colonial delegation (despite my extensive personal [family] and professional contacts with Chinese academia on the Mainland – I have not been able to locate any photographs of these meetings).
