"A fascinating account of the role of internationalism in race
reform discourse. . . . An important contribution to the literature
on race and international affairs and the growing body of work on
internationalism in American reform politics. "How Far the Promised
Land" is essential reading for civil rights scholars and for
scholars interested in international approaches to American
history."--Mary L. Dudziak, University of Southern California,
author of "Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American
Democracy"
"In his introduction to this innovative and engaging history,
Jonathan Rosenberg argues that we cannot fully understand the
twentieth-century civil rights movement if we do not understand
exactly how its leaders and laity made sense of, and use of,
international affairs. He goes on to demonstrate, in great and
effective detail, just how they made sense and use of international
affairs, and how the relationship between civil rights and
international affairs has shaped our history. Rosenberg writes
clearly, crisply, and vividly. He has an ear for unforgettable
quotes--the voices of his subjects ring loudly and give the story
its force--and an eye for moving human drama."--James Goodman,
Rutgers University, author of "Stories of Scottsboro"
"Jonathan Rosenberg amply proves his thesis that race reformers
from World War I on were acutely aware of a variety of
international issues, and that they incorporated references to
events overseas in their arguments for racial progress in America.
He has done a wonderful job of assembling a convincing collection
of quotations that attest to the cosmopolitan view of race
reformers, particularly those in the NAACP, and hedemonstrates the
importance of international consciousness over a longer time period
and in much greater detail than have others."--Frank Costigliola,
University of Connecticut, author of "France and the United States:
The Cold War Alliance since World War II"
