[Bulk] Re: [SEELANGS] Afro-Americans and Soviet culture

[E Wayles Browne]

Actually the author of "Soviet but not Russian" (Edmonton, 1985) was William M. Mandel. 
At the beginning of his first chapter he introduces us to Lily Golden-Hanga, Soviet-born daughter of a Black American and a Jewish American, and later in the book he has a chapter "Blacks, Russians, and Black Russians."
Lily Golden-Hanga's daughter, born in Moscow, is the journalist and TV presenter Yelena Khanga (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yelena_Khanga and the longer article in Russian Wikipedia).

Quoting from memory (and the author's clear Communist bias may seem a bit
sad nowadays) there's a book by Arthur K. Davies called "Soviet but not
Russian", which contains an interview with (I think) a Black American lady
who had actually immigrated to the Soviet Union.

Hope this is of some interest ......

Dear Seelangtsovy--
I am looking for ideas of Afro-American WOMEN who have left memoirs of their
trips to the Soviet Union. Texts should be in English and accessible at a
reasonably sized university library.
