Abstract
This essay attempts to recover Mabel Robinson Williams, an African American radical woman, as a key figure in the history of Black internationalism in China. In reconstructing her travels to China it reveals and interrogates the gendered and sexualised terms under which she appears in the Chinese archive of Afro-Asian solidarity. While Robinson Williams’ own vision of alternatives to global racial capitalism can be gleaned from those records, her overall archival representation as the wife and helpmate of a bombastic, better-known male activist diminishes her role.
