South African Women and Black Internationalism
Histories of Black internationalism have really multiplied over the last twenty years. Tracing the global vision that has always informed Black activism, this research has stressed the need to think about anti-racist and anticolonial politics beyond the boundaries of the nation state. Significantly, recent work by scholars such as Keisha Blain, Carole Boyce Davies, and Imaobong Umoren has emphasised the vital cross-border contributions that Black…

Patriotism and Black Internationalism
On February 2, 2023, Ilhan Omar took to the floor of the House of Representatives to address what being an American meant to her. Responding to Republican efforts to remove her from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the representative for Minnesota's fifth congressional district asked, “Who gets to be an American? What opinions do you have to have to be counted as American?” 1 In attacking Omar for her past comments on Israel and track reco…
Dora Tamana: Travel, home and the transnational politics of African motherhood
This article explores the intersectional politics of Dora Tamana from the 1940s to the early 1980s. A key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, Tamana’s activism was deeply informed by her own health, as well as the physical well-being of her family and community. Drawing on her own personal experiences and losses, she carefully constructed a militant and uncompromising politics of African motherhood that grappled with the violence of settler co…
G erald H orne . White Supremacy Confronted: U.S. Imperialism and Anti-Communism vs. the Liberation of Southern Africa, from Rhodes to Mandela
Gerald Horne is a tour de force. He has published close to forty books and has fundamentally transformed our understanding of how white supremacy and antiradicalism have worked in tandem to shape the history of the United States. While Horne’s scholarship has not been solely confined to the twentieth century, much of his work has meticulously traced the transnational coalescence of racist and anti-communist politics that has stifled the liberatio…
Winning Our Freedoms Together: African Americans and Apartheid, 1945-1960
In this transnational account of black protest, Nicholas Grant examines how African Americans engaged with, supported, and were inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement. Bringing black activism into conversation with the foreign policy of both the U.S. and South African governments, this study questions the dominant perception that U.S.-centered anticommunism decimated black international activism. Instead, by tracing the considerabl…
Crossing the Black Atlantic
This article traces the travels of the American-based performers Canada Lee and Sidney Poitier to South Africa, alongside the experiences of the African National Congress activists Z. K. and Frieda Bokwe Matthews in the United States. As foreign black actors starring in the 1952 film version of Cry, the Beloved Country, Lee and Poitier found themselves caught up in a project that the National Party believed could be used to present the apartheid …
