White Chauvinism and the Struggle for Peace
New York: New Century Publishers, 1952. A report by the African American Communist Party leader and Smith Act defendant on white chauvinism, a counterrevolutionary tendency in which white workers and Party members were chided for failing to support the full equality and liberation of black people. Besides addressing the issue in Party literature and study groups, a famous example occurred in August 1931 during the Yokinen Show Trial, in which Finnish-American party member August Yokinen was tried before 2,000 party members in Harlem for preventing the entry of blacks to a Finnish Workers Club, as well as for disparaging comments he made about blacks (this account was published as a pamphlet titled, Race Hatred on Trial).
