Since it first appeared, Power and Prejudice has been hailed as a
bold, pioneering work dealing with one of the central and most
controversial issues of our time?the relationship between racial
prejudice and global conflict. Powerfully written and based on
documents from archives on several continents, this award-winning
book convincingly demonstrates that the racial issue, or what
W.E.B. Du Bois called ?the problem of the twentieth century,? has
profoundly influenced most major developments in international
politics and diplomacy.Lauren begins with a thought-provoking
discussion of the heavy burden of history's pattern of conquest and
slavery wherin skin color identified master and slave, conqueror
and conquered. He then examines bitter twentieth-century conflicts
over race, including immigration exclusion and the ?Yellow Peril,?
the ?Final Solution? of the Holocaust, decolonization, the impact
of the Cold War on the civil rights movement, and the global
struggle against racial prejudice. In this new edition, Lauren adds
dimensions about Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, exploring
the racial dimensions of immigration exclusion and warfare. He
contributes significant new material about international issues
regarding indigenous peoples around the world, including
self-determination, sovereignty, and discrimination. And finally,
he examines the dramatic events surrounding the end of apartheid in
South Africa.Eloquent, provocative, and informed by first-rate
scholarship, the insights of this highly original work will appeal
to general readers as well as to students and scholars from a broad
range of disciplines.
