In this absorbing transnational history, Alex Lubin reveals the
vital connections between African American political thought and
the people and nations of the Middle East. Spanning the 1850s
through the present, and set against a backdrop of major political
and cultural shifts around the world, the book demonstrates how
international geopolitics, including the ascendance of liberal
internationalism, established the conditions within which blacks
imagined their freedom and, conversely, the ways in which various
Middle Eastern groups have understood and used the African American
freedom struggle to shape their own political movements. Lubin
extends the framework of the black freedom struggle beyond the
familiar geographies of the Atlantic world and sheds new light on
the linked political, social, and intellectual imaginings of
African Americans, Palestinians, Arabs, and Israeli Jews. This
history of intellectual exchange, Lubin argues, has forged
political connections that extend beyond national and racial
boundaries.
