The official U.S. publication of “African Americans in U.S. Foreign Policy” is set for February 16, 2015

Edited by Allison Blakely, Linda Heywood, Charles Stith, and Joshua C. Yesnowitz, this 264 page publication comes in two editions – paper & cloth – and can be purchased here. The warehouse at University of Illinois Press (UIP) has already started shipping orders.

George White Jr., author of Holding the Line: Race, Racism, and American Foreign Policy toward Africa, 1953–1961, describes the book as one that “sheds light on understudied but timely phenomena at the intersection of race and U.S. foreign relations and does so in new and exciting ways. Expands the chronological and thematic scopes of existing works, making it truly original. I am convinced that this book will intervene in many scholarly conversations for years to come by offering something truly unique.”
