ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates the transnational imagination of Nuestra Raza, a Black monthly magazine which was published in Montevideo, Uruguay from 1933 to 1948. I position Nuestra Raza as an archive of Black transnational and Black Internationalist thought. The magazine linked struggles against racism and fascism at home and abroad by covering Scottsboro Boys and Italy's invasion of Ethiopia alongside other instances of racism and imperialism. In addition, Nuestra Raza provided a snapshot of the richness of Black life and culture through reviews, interviews, book excerpts, and the social pages. In the Black transnational tradition, the magazine took up public pedagogy to open up the possibility for Black Uruguayans to understand themselves as part of a transnational community that had an obligation to take a stance against fascism.
