Mary Dudziak's "Exporting American Dreams" tells the
little-known story of Thurgood Marshall's work with Kenyan leaders
as they fought with the British for independence in the early
1960s. Not long after he led the legal team in "Brown v. Board of
Education," Marshall aided Kenya's constitutional negotiations, as
adversaries battled over rights and land--not with weapons, but
with legal arguments. Set in the context of Marshall's civil rights
work in the United States, this transnational history sheds light
on legal reform and social change in the midst of violent upheavals
in Africa and America. While the struggle for rights on both
continents played out on a global stage, it was a deeply personal
journey for Marshall. Even as his belief in the equalizing power of
law was challenged during his career as a Supreme Court justice,
and in Kenya the new government sacrificed the rights he cherished,
Kenya's founding moment remained for him a time and place when all
things had seemed possible.
