Russia and the Negro: Blacks in Russian History and Thought

It's a good reference or textbook on this subject, some places are boring.You can find a lot of info about Black people living in Tzar's Russia and Soviet Union, some of that unknown and amusing.

Being the first in the world to write on such a topic and being a male of African descent has not only had a overwhelming affect on but has pushed me to seek out more of Allison Blakey writings.

One of the better books which addresses race in Russia which has been written. Whether or not you are a scholar, or interested in learning more history this is the book for you.
