A Drive-By Tour of U.S. Foreign Policy
Many, many years ago I had the great good fortune to share an office with Walter LaFeber for one year. I was brand new in the historical profession and he was, well, Walter LaFeber. In his usual considerate and kind fashion, he was helping solve a temporary departmental office shortage, and he freely shared his superb book collection, a mini-library of our discipline at the time. Walt had just published The American Age: U.S. Foreign Policy at Ho…
Hearts, Minds, Voices
Scholars of modern US international history tend to view the twentieth century as shaped most fundamentally by the Cold War between the Soviet-led Communist bloc and the US-led democratic capitalist sphere. But, for the majority of the world’s peoples who lived in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the period from the 1940s to the 1970s was defined instead in political terms primarily by the struggle for national self-determination and independenc…
Jason Stahl. Right Moves
Where did modern American conservatism come from? This is one of the most important questions in the recent history of the United States. Some historians, including Lisa McGirr, have emphasized grassroots anticommunist organizing in the suburbs. Others, among them Kim Phillips-Fein, have pointed to business opposition to the New Deal order since the 1930s. Dan T. Carter, Joseph Crespino, and others have highlighted the white backlash against civi…

The 1970s
This book looks at an iconic decade when the cultural left and economic right came to the fore in American society and the world at large. While many have seen the 1970s as simply a period of failures epitomized by Watergate, inflation, the oil crisis, global unrest, and disillusionment with military efforts in Vietnam, this book creates a new framework for understanding the period and its legacy. It demonstrates how the 1970s increased social in…

How Far the Promised Land? World Affairs and the American Civil Rights Movement from the First World War to Vietnam ‐ by Jonathan Rosenberg
Squeezing White Supremacy
Two enduring forms of totalitarian rule that had shaped modern world history finally fell apart in the early 1990s. One was Soviet communism, whose seventy-year run stumbled in 1989, when Germans tore down the Berlin Wall and Eastern Europeans overthrew their Soviet-backed governments, and ended in 1991, when the Soviet Union itself dissolved into its component parts of Russia and more than a dozen smaller independent nations. The other was white…

France, the United States, and the Algerian War
“Algeria was a clear case of a Third World revolution that Washington believed it could accept,” notes the French historian Irwin M. Wall. In this detailed and well-written new book, Wall examines the divergent views of the governments of the United States and France regarding the insurrection that broke out in Algeria against French colonial rule in 1954 and lasted until independence in 1962. While the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration conside…

Jim Crow's Coming Out
This article examines the ways in which race relations and foreign affairs intersected for the United States between 1945 and 1952. It draws on an array of archival and other primary as well as secondary sources to focus on the manner in which the Truman administration responded to pressures for racial reform both in the international sphere (decolonization) and in the domestic sphere (civil rights organizing). It finds that the segregationist ba…
Africa and the United States
“Michael is from New York, and Jomo is from Africa.” A Sesame Street character introduces two musicians on a late 1995 episode of the most popular children's public television show–one known for its attentiveness to cultural differences–and reveals an enduring problem for Americans regarding Africa. Had the second musician been German, would we have met “Hans from Europe”? If Vietnamese, “Tho from Asia”? If Brazilian, “Marco from Latin America”? …
