Description 1 online resource : illustrations Contents World War I and the peace settlement -- Between the wars -- From World War II to Vietnam Summary "How Far the Promised Land? explores the relationship between overseas developments and the most important reform movement in modern American history, the struggle for racial justice. Interweaving civil rights history, U.S. foreign relations history, and twentieth-century international history, the book contributes to the emerging effort to reconceptualize the study of America's past by locating it in a global context In examining the link between international developments and the quest for racial justice, Jonathan Rosenberg argues that civil rights leaders were profoundly interested in the world beyond America and incorporated their understanding of overseas matters into their reform program in order to fortify and legitimize the message they presented to their followers, the nation, and the international community."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-309) and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gnd Subject African Americans -- Civil rights -- History -- 20th century Civil rights movements -- United States -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- Politics and government -- 20th century African American leadership -- History -- 20th century Civil rights workers -- United States -- History -- 20th century Political activists -- United States -- History -- 20th century Internationalism -- History -- 20th century World politics -- 20th century.
