| Abstract | "Sam Klug aims to show that the divisions among American liberals and radicals over the subject of race during the Cold War were influenced in heretofore unrecognized ways by global debates over colonialism and decolonization. He recasts what has long been seen as a series of primarily domestic policy debates--e.g., over the efficacy of the War on Poverty, or over various conceptions of African American separatism--showing them to be products of deeper and farther-flung intellectual currents. The result is a history that broadens our understanding of ideological formation (specifically how Americans conceptualized racial power and independence) by revealing a much wider and more dynamic network of influences"-- Provided by publisher. |
