在这本关于黑人抗议的跨国著作中，尼古拉斯·格兰特考察了非洲裔美国人如何参与、支持南非反种族隔离运动，并受到南非反种族隔离运动的启发。这项研究将黑人激进主义与美国和南非政府的外交政策联系起来，对美国和南非政府的主流看法提出了质疑。以反共主义为中心的反共产主义运动摧毁了黑人的国际行动主义。相反，通过追踪大量的时间，金钱，和国家投入到回应黑人国际批评的努力，格兰特概述了美国和南非政府被迫在冷战世界中重塑和偶尔重新考虑其种族政策的程度。这项研究显示了非洲裔美国人和南非黑人如何以挑战大西洋两岸白色霸权的方式驾驭跨国组织的国家镇压。他们在20世纪40年代和50年代建立的政治和文化联系证明了两国黑人活动家坚持反对种族隔离和吉姆·克劳的斗争是密切相关的。
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 considerable amount of time, money, and effort the state invested into responding to black international criticism, Grant outlines the extent to which the U.S. and South African governments were forced to reshape and occasionally reconsider their racial policies in the Cold War world. This study shows how African Americans and black South Africans navigated transnationally organized state repression in ways that challenged white supremacy on both sides of the Atlantic. The political and cultural ties that they forged during the 1940s and 1950s are testament to the insistence of black activists in both countries that the struggle against apartheid and Jim Crow were intimately interconnected.
