This is a transnational history of the activist and intellectual
network that connected the Black freedom struggle in the United
States to liberation movements across the globe in the aftermath of
World War II. John Munro charts the emergence of an anticolonial
front within the postwar Black liberation movement comprising
organisations such as the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, the Council on African Affairs and the American
Society for African Culture and leading figures such as W. E. B. Du
Bois, Claudia Jones, Alphaeus Hunton, George Padmore, Richard
Wright, Esther Cooper Jackson, Jack O'Dell and C. L. R. James.
Drawing on a diverse array of personal papers, organisational
records, novels, newspapers and scholarly literatures, the book
follows the fortunes of this political formation, recasting the
Cold War in light of decolonisation and racial capitalism and the
postwar history of the United States in light of global
developments.

1989 bore witness to a number of seismic events; The fall of the
Berlin Wall, protests at Tiananmen Square, the US invasion of
Panama, and many more. These notable moments inspired an array of
visual, sonic and literary texts that can tell us much about this
watershed moment. This edited collection examines these products of
1989 to explore the sense of transformative immediacy, which
defined this memorable year, and show how the events of 1989 set
the path for the 21st century. Gathering together scholars across a
range of disciplines, Reading the New Global Order examines
specific texts to reveal key transnational issues of that year, and
to highlight fundamental questions about the nature and
significance of 1989 as a global moment. From speeches, manifestos
and novellas, to a pop album, this book raises questions about what
constitutes a 'text' in the study of history and what they can
reveal about their point in time. Taken together, these chapters
highlight 1989 as a cultural, intellectual and political landmark
of the 20th century through the global events it saw and the texts
it produced.
