¿Un despertar feminista? La estancia soviética de Louise Thompson Patterson y Dorothy West
No full textThis article follows the socialist activist Louise Thompson (later Patterson) and the writer Dorothy West on their infamous journey to Soviet Russia to shoot a film about North American anti-Black racism in 1932. The film about the US history of racial oppression was ultimately never made, but the women stayed in the Soviet Union for several months, travelling to the Soviet republics, meeting famous Soviets, and experiencing Soviet modernization. Looking at the travel writings, correspondence, and memoirs of Thompson and West through the lens of intersectionality, this article analyses the women’s distinctly gendered experiences and their experience of socialist women’s liberation movements. It argues that a close reading of the literary writing, travel notes, letters, and memoirs and their biographical trajectories after they returned to the United States reveals how their experiences in the Soviet Union created a feminist consciousness within the two women that crucially altered their political and personal views of Black women’s agency and significantly altered their life trajectories.Este artículo sigue a la activista socialista Louise Thompson (después Patterson) y a la escritora Dorothy West en su viaje a la Unión Soviética para filmar una película sobre el racismo contra la gente de color en Norteamérica en 1932. La película sobre la opresión racial nunca se hizo, pero las mujeres viajaron unos meses por la URSS y las Repúblicas Soviéticas, juntándose con famosos y experimentando la modernización. Evaluando las descripciones del viaje, correspondencias y memorias de Thompson y West desde un punto de vista interseccional, el artículo analiza sus experiencias –claramente marcadas por su género– y encuentros con el movimiento de liberación de mujeres socialistas. Argumenta que sus obras durante el viaje y después del regreso revelan cómo sus experiencias en la URSS crearon una conciencia feminista en ambas que cambió radicalmente su visión sobre la agrupación de mujeres de color y alteró la trayectoria de sus vidas
