Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Africa

Innovative case studies by authors from different countries draw on new sources to explore the complexity of connections shaped through the movement of individuals and ideas from Africa to the "East" and vice versa in the era of African decolonisation. The publication challenges a Cold War perspective to understand the history of ties between African liberation movements and states and the socialist bloc.
