Talk:Claudia Jones

Untitled
I think there should be information on this page about her position as chair of the National Women's Commission of the Communist Party, which she accepted in 1947. While in this position she formulated her theory about the triple oppression of Black women. Her work for women's rights was a significant part of her life, through which she made an important theoretical contribution to feminist thought. She is often not given credit for her work around women and I think it's important to have it in her biography on Wikipedia. See the article in Political Affairs linked at the bottom of this article, or see Red Feminism by Kate Weigand (The John Hopkins University Press, Baltimore: 2001), especially chapter 5.

Need a primary source for "No Irish" etc signs
"At this time in Britain, many landlords, shops and even some government establishments displayed signs saying "No Irish, No Coloured, No Dogs". Jones found a community that needed active organisation". Could we have a definitive reference for this - re government establishments and shops as well as landlords - as it is often disputed that such signs were common (or even existed)? Primary sources: a mention in Socialist Worker won't do.

Edits
Edits made to give some neutrality to article. Long politically loaded excerpt from her writing at the end of the article was rv -- this is not a blogsite or fansite. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Claudia Jones was a leading communist in the USA and fairly well known in Britain for her political activism as a communist and as a supporter of anti-imperialist struggle in Asia, Africa and Latin America. That is how she described herself. The term 'black nationalist' to describe Claudia Jones seems to be a rather dubious claim and one made by black nationalist biographers who wrote of her life long years after she had died. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiltiport (talk • contribs) 19:52, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

It is the usual problem with articles about people of this sort; they get filled with POV tripe about how great and progressive Communism is, while editing out critical references that show it is nothing of the sort. Before adding references to such criticism, tho, best to get the page semi-protected to avoid an edit war. 76.102.148.112 (talk) 05:11, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
