Black Sporting Resistance: Diaspora, Transnationalism, and Internationalism
In recent years, there has been increased attention towards activism in sporting spaces. A vast majority of these contributions have focused on intra-nation tensions and impact. Yet, there is a dearth of scholarship that has engaged in a theoretically grounded analysis of how Black sportspersons have exhibited resistance in and through sport across national borders across time, space, and context. In this text, Joseph N. Cooper introduces the Bla…
Race, Rights and Reform: Black Activism in the French Empire and the United States from World War I to the Cold War by Sarah C. Dunstan
This transatlantic study is based on archival research, primarily in the United States and France, that mostly concerns the period from the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference settling the “Great War” to the March on Washington of 1963. The March, which marked a new era in the struggle against Jim Crow or U.S. apartheid, not coincidentally occurred as African and Caribbean nations were surging to independence. In other words, Washington had difficul…
Slavery’s Mirror: The United States and Brazil
The two giants of enslavement—the United States and Brazil—long have attracted comparative attention.1 This is understandable, for juxtaposing the two offers insight into both. The book at hand seeks to suggest that “reformers” in the two nations sought to ensure that emancipation would lead to advancing the interests of capital or, more specifically, an enhanced and robust capitalism. The focus is heavily on intellectual and political elites—jou…

Third World Internationalism and the Global Color Line
At the turn of the twentieth century, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois prophesied in "The Present Outlook for the Dark Races of Mankind" (1897), as well as in "Address to the Nations of the World" (1900), and, most notably, in The Souls of Black Folk (1903) that the color line – the relation of the "darker to the lighter races of men" – was the defining problem of the era. The onset of World War I gave these insights credence: the imperialist riv…
Race Woman: The Lives of Shirley Graham Du Bois
One of the most intriguing activists and artists of the twentieth century, Shirley Graham Du Bois also remains one of the least studied and understood. In Race Woman , Gerald Horne draws a revealing portrait of this controvertial figure who championed the civil rights movement in America, the liberation struggles in Africa and the socialist struggles in Maoist China. Through careful analysis and use of personal correspondence, interviews, and pre…
Her Majesty's African-American Allies
It is well-established that African-Americans have sought allies abroad as a way to weaken opposition at home. Often, scholars have tackled this important topic as it manifested during the Cold War.1 Azza Salama Layton, International Politics and Civil Rights Policies in the United States, 1941–1960 (New York, 2000); Mary L. Dudziak, Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American Democracy (Princeton, NJ, 2000); Gerald Horne, Paul Robeson:…
In Search of Liberty: African American Internationalism in the Nineteenth-Century Atlantic World
"In Search of Liberty engages ways in which African Americans, since the founding of the United States, have understood their struggle for freedom and liberty as a feature of changes within the Atlantic world. The essays in this volume capture how African Americans grappled with those questions, as the struggle for liberty in the United States continued through the end of the nineteenth century, when new regimes of power implemented systems of ra…
Facing the Rising Sun: African Americans, Japan, and the Rise of Afro-Asian Solidarity
The surprising alliance between Japan and pro-Tokyo African Americans during World War II In November 1942 in East St. Louis, Illinois a group of African Americans engaged in military drills were eagerly awaiting a Japanese invasion of the U.S.— an invasion that they planned to join. Since the rise of Japan as a superpower less than a century earlier, African Americans across class and ideological lines had saluted the Asian nation, not least bec…

Max Yergan: Race Man, Internationalist, Cold Warrior
As the title of this provocative work suggests, Max Yergan certainly is one of the more intriguing figures of the previous century. Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, during the worst of the unlamented Jim Crow era in the late nineteenth century, this African American intellectual joined the staff of the Young Men's Christian Association (ymca). In that post he was able to tour the planet, camping variously in India and East Africa. Then, in 1921, …
Africans at the Crossroads: Notes for an African World Revolution
Breaking the Chains Forging the Nation: The Afro-Cuban Fight for Freedom and Equality, 1812-1912
This collection merits a salute: noteworthy is the labor of the editors, who selected scholars to write introductions of various sections of this informative book. In addition, the article submitted by the editor Fannie Rushing is outstanding. The afterword by W. F. Santiago-Valles, a sweeping analysis of hemispheric slave revolts and riveting unrest more generally, is alone worth the price of the book. This volume spans the period from a pivotal…
In the Heat of the Summer: The New York Riots of 1964 and the War on Crime
In July 1964 New York City erupted in what Michael W. Flamm terms a riot but what residents of affected neighborhoods in Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn) routinely denote as a rebellion. They prefer the latter term to signal that the underlying reasons for this mass unrest was unemployment, racism, substandard housing, and police brutality. Though not as well known as a similar episode in Los Angeles in 1965, in some ways the events in Go…
