Abstract

Abstract The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) and the New Negro Renaissance originated at roughly the same time. The precise birth dates of both are impossible to fix exactly. Even the start of the CPUSA as an organization is variously put at the foundings of the Communist Party and the Communist Labor Party after a split within the Socialist Party of America (SP) in 1919 and at the unification of the two Communist organizations in 1921.Nonetheless, both the CPUSA and the New Negro Renaissance were products of the post-World War I, post-October Revolution moment that produced an ideological crisis in the capitalist world order, as well as what might be thought of as the prewar world of the Left.
