Marshaling evidence from a wide array of international sources, including the black presses of the time, Penny M. Von Eschen offers a vivid portrayal of the African diaspora in its international heyday, from the 1945 Manchester Pan-African Congress to early cooperation with the United Nations.Race against Empire tells the poignant story of a popular movement and its precipitate decline with the onset of the Cold War. Von Eschen documents the efforts of African-American political leaders, intellectuals, and journalists who forcefully promoted anti-colonial politics and critiqued U.S. foreign policy. The eclipse of anti-colonial politics-which Von Eschen traces through African-American responses to the early Cold War, U.S. government prosecution of black American anti-colonial activists, and State Department initiatives in Africa-marked a change in the very meaning of race and racism in America from historical and international issues to psychological and domestic ones. She concludes that the collision of anti-colonialism with Cold War liberalism illuminates conflicts central to the reshaping of America; the definition of political, economic, and civil rights; and the question of who, in America and across the globe, is to have access to these rights.Exploring the relationship between anticolonial politics, early civil rights activism, and nascent superpower rivalries, Race against Empire offers a fresh perspective both on the emergence of the United States as the dominant global power and on the profound implications of that development for American society. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aAnti-imperialist movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican diaspora 606 $aPan-Africanism$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aAnti-imperialist movements$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 615 0$aPan-Africanism$xHistory 676 $a325/.3/08996073 700 $aVon Eschen$b Penny M$g(Penny Marie),$0917530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807212703321 996 $aRace against empire$93984154 997 $aUNINA
