Bourgeois Radicals explores the NAACP's key role in the liberation
of Africans and Asians across the globe even as it fought Jim Crow
on the home front during the long civil rights movement. In the
eyes of the NAACP's leaders, the way to create a stable
international system, stave off communism in Africa and Asia, and
prevent capitalist exploitation was to embed human rights, with its
economic and cultural protections, in the transformation of
colonies into nations. Indeed, the NAACP aided in the liberation
struggles of multiple African and Asian countries within the
limited ideological space of the Second Red Scare. However, its
vision of a third way to democracy and nationhood for the hundreds
of millions in Asia and Africa was only partially realized due to a
toxic combination of the Cold War, Jim Crow, and die-hard
imperialism. Bourgeois Radicals examines the toll that
internationalism took on the organization and illuminates the
linkages between the struggle for human rights and the fight for
colonial independence."
