520 "Bookended by remarks from African American diplomats
Walter C. Carrington and Charles Stith, the essays in this
volume use close readings of speeches, letters, historical
archives, diaries, and memoirs of policymakers and newly
available FBI files to confront much-neglected questions
related to race and foreign relations in the United
States. Why, for instance, did African Americans profess
loyalty and support for the diplomatic initiatives of a
nation that undermined their social, political, and
economic well-being through racist policies and cultural
practices? Other contributions explore African Americans'
history in the diplomatic and consular services and the
influential roles of cultural ambassadors like Joe Louis
and Louis Armstrong. The volume concludes with an analysis
of the effects on race and foreign policy in the
administration of Barack Obama. Groundbreaking and
critical, African Americans in U.S. Foreign Policy expands
on the scope and themes of recent collections to offer the
most up-to-date scholarship to students in a range of
disciplines, including U.S. and African American history,
Africana studies, political science, and American studies"

520 "Bookended by remarks from two African American diplomats,
Walter C. Carrington and Charles Stith, this volume
incorporates the perspectives of scholars and
practitioners of U.S. foreign policy on questions of race
and foreign relations. Contributors begin with the late
1800s, examining both the roles of formally appointed
African American diplomats and the broader early roles of
African American religious, military, and educational
institutions in foreign policy. Together, the essays
confront several tensions within the field, including the
paradox of loyalty, or why African Americans would profess
loyalty and support the diplomatic initiatives of a nation
which persisted in undermining their social, political,
and economic well being through racist policies and
cultural practices. Most essays depend on close readings
of primary source materials including speeches, letters,
historical archives, diaries, and memoirs of policymakers
and newly available FBI files. Other essays address the
less formal but no less influential roles of African
American cultural ambassadors, such as Joe Louis, Louis
Armstrong, and hip hop artists. The volume concludes with
analysis of the effects on race and foreign policy of
President Barack Obama, who was both a beacon of hope and
a disappointment to observers of U.S. foreign policy both
stateside and abroad"--|cProvided by publisher.
