Product Description

Synopsis

This volume presents the complete proceedings of the 1920 Baku congress. It explores how peasants and workers in the colonial world could achieve freedom from imperialist exploitation, and how working people could overcome class divisions to work for common interests. The 2000 delegates, representing two dozen peoples of Asia, addressed these types of questions at a time when the young workers' and peasants' republic in Russia gave the world's toilers hope for a new dawn.

5.0 out of 5 stars The struggle of the oppressed, 27 April 2003
By Barbara J. Greemway (Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the perfect book to be reading right now with the current situation in the Middle East! It quite dramatically refutes the argument that there are some populations in some countries that are just too backward, too beaten down, too victimized, to determine their own destiny.
The account is of the First Congress of the People of the East that took place in 1920 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Here some 2000 delegates of workers and peasants met to debate and discuss the critical questions of their day---issues like national oppression, women’s rights, and economic and social pressure in the midst of a worldwide depression. In this book you can read the actual transcripts of debates on Zionism and Palestine; the debates over religious freedom of Muslims and the right of women to participate as equals at the conference itself. There are also wonderful photographs of the different participants to help put faces to the debates.
You cannot read this book and not be inspired by what occurred at this historic conference.
