Description
Join Maurice Casey (Queen’s University Belfast) and Lisa Kirschenbaum (West Chester University) for a discussion of Professor Casey’s book "Hotel Lux: An Intimate History of Communism's Forgotten Radicals," which follows Irish radical May O’Callaghan and her friends, three revolutionary families brought together by their vision for a communist future and their time spent in the Comintern’s Moscow living quarters, the Hotel Lux. Historian Maurice Casey reveals the connections and disconnections of a group of forgotten communist activists whose lives collided in 1920s Moscow: a brilliant Irish translator, a maverick author, the rebel daughters of an East London Jewish family, and a family of determined German anti-fascists.
