This article explores transformations in the Black press during some of the most repressive years of United States and global anticommunism in the 1940s and 1950s. Centering on an examination of the editorial politics of the Boston Chronicle, a daily newspaper founded by Caribbean immigrants in the early twentieth century, it argues that Black leftist internationalism continued to be visible in print despite a repressive political climate shaping the experiences of Black journalists and activists. The Chronicle, a relatively understudied Black newspaper, offers a somewhat different perspective on the evolution of a vibrant, transnational print culture that linked Black freedom struggles in the United States with anticolonial movements in the British Caribbean, Africa, and Latin America. An examination of the Chronicle’s coverage and journalists in a period of deepening anticommunist repression reveals ongoing links between Black activists, anticolonial movements, and the organized left before the 1960s.

“声援地球上最受压迫的人民”：《波士顿纪事报》和黑人国际主义印刷文化，1945-60

本文探讨了 20 世纪 40 年代和 1950 年代美国和全球反共运动最压抑的一些时期黑人媒体的转变。以二十世纪初加勒比移民创办的日报《波士顿纪事报》的编辑政治为中心，本文认为，尽管压制性的政治气候塑造了黑人记者和黑人记者的经历，但黑人左翼国际主义仍然在印刷品中随处可见。积极分子。《纪事报》是一份相对较少被研究的黑人报纸，它对充满​​活力的跨国印刷文化的演变提供了不同的视角，这种文化将美国的黑人自由斗争与英属加勒比地区、非洲和拉丁美洲的反殖民运动联系起来。
