The eastern international: Arabs, Central Asians, and Jews in the Soviet Union's anticolonial empire

In: Oxford Studies in International History Series

Abstract

The Eastern International traces how the concept "East" (Vostok) was used by the world's first communist state and its mediators to project, channel, and contest power across Eurasia. It highlights the roles played in this process by Jewish activists, Arab intellectuals, and Central Asian politicians and artists.
