Workers Occupy the Most Vital Role
A first class medium’
Between 1953 and 1972 the International Labor Film Institute (ILFI), affiliated with yet organizationally separate from the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), spread knowledge about, and encouraged the use of, films among Western trade unionists. Holding five formal film festivals, the ILFI also engaged in the collection and distribution of information about films and filmstrips on trade union topics, themes, and successes.…
With Flags Waving
In contrast to the usual story that ICFTU efforts in Africa were moribund by the mid-1960s, its connections to the Liberian CIO were increasing then, due largely to the efforts of Black American, Caribbean, and African trade unionists who worked with or for the ICFTU. When European ICFTU officials hesitated for fear of upsetting the repressive Tubman government, ICFTU members from among the African diaspora expressed more optimism and consistentl…
Perils, promises and perspectives
In the 1950s and 1960s, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) protested nuclear weapons testing, called for nuclear and conventional disarmament, and simultaneously embraced the promises of atomic energy.

Views From West Africa
In the 1950s, many Ghanaians identified with African Americans as they read about events involving American racial violence in Ghanaian newspapers. Yet the transnational connections appearing in those periodicals varied in depth, intensity, and sincerity depending on their political or commercial connections. This study analyzes the reactions in key Ghanaian newspapers, such as those affiliated with Kwame Nkrumah's Convention People's Party, the …
Village Work
In Village Work, Alice Wiemers has provided us with a helpful and revealing addition to the discussion of development in the twentieth century. Analyzing the rural Ghanaian north, particularly the village of Kpasenkpe, and marshalling sources from several archival sites in Ghana as well as more than 100 interviews, she analyzes what she terms “hinterland statecraft.” Contrary to seeing rural areas of the Global South as places where government is…
African Miracle, African Mirage
Encroaching upon trade union preserves’
The clash between the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, an international labor body that included the AFL and the before CIO, and Frank Buchman’s Moral Re-Armament Movement illustrated one of the many intra-Western contests in the early Cold War over creating international norms. Should national labor centers work for a world of more moral interpersonal relationships or should they follow traditional collective bargaining activiti…

Gazing Toward Ghana
Militancy and Violence in West Africa
Gazing Toward Ghana
African Americans viewed Ghana as a symbol of black success, capability, and modernity during the 1950s and pressured the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower to attribute more importance to the decolonizing nation and its leader, Kwame Nkrumah. Black American leaders thus played a role in shifting American policy in Africa toward a more ‘middle ground' approach balancing European and African desires and also helped cause Vice Preside…
