Description

Robert Vitalis' White World Order, Black Power Politics explores how racism shaped international relations in the early twentieth century. This book delves into the history of the "Howard School of International Relations", a group of professors at Howard University who challenged racist attitudes and theorized alternatives to dependency and domination for Africans and African Americans. The authors of this school, including Alain Locke, Ralph Bunche, Rayford Logan, Eric Williams, and Merze Tate, were pioneers in their field. Their work recovered forgotten historical dialogues and shed light on the critical role played by race in shaping international relations. By examining the contributions of both white and black scholars, Vitalis reconstructs a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in American history. This book offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of international relations, revealing how racist attitudes informed research priorities and were embedded in professional organizations.
