In the critical period from 1956 to 1974, the emergence of newly independent states worldwide and the struggles of the civil rights movement in the United States exposed the limits of racial integration and political freedom. Dissidents, leaders and elites alike were linked in a struggle for power in a world where the rules of the game had changed. Brenda Gayle Plummer traces the detailed connections between African Americans' involvement in international affairs and how they shaped American foreign policy, integrating African American history, the history of the African Diaspora and the history of United States foreign relations. These topics, usually treated separately, not only offer a unified view of the period but also reassess controversies and events that punctuated this colorful era of upheaval and change. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights 606 $aDecolonization$zAfrica 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Africans$xHistory 606 $aAfrican diaspora$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights. 615 0$aDecolonization 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Africans$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican diaspora$xHistory. 676 $a323.1196/073 686 $aHIS036000$2bisacsh 700 $aPlummer$b Brenda Gayle$01499789 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779340703321 996 $aIn search of power$93726161 997 $aUNINA
