This dissertation examines several black American activist intellectuals' relationships with the Chinese government at the height of the Cold War. It provides an account and analysis of the writings and radical activity of W.E.B. and Shirley Graham Du Bois; Robert F. and Mabel Williams; James and Grace Lee Boggs; and Amiri Baraka. These individuals recognized China's emergence as an imminent global force and perceived China's efforts to project itself among Third World nations and groups as a challenge to racial capitalism and U.S. imperialism. These activists also represent a distinct trajectory of black radicalism and the U.S. Left, and by investigating their links to China this dissertation points also to China's shifting relationship[s] with the African Diaspora from 1949--1976.

520 $a This dissertation examines several black American activist intellectuals' relationships with the Chinese government at the height of the Cold War. It provides an account and analysis of the writings and radical activity of W.E.B. and Shirley Graham Du Bois; Robert F. and Mabel Williams; James and Grace Lee Boggs; and Amiri Baraka. These individuals recognized China's emergence as an imminent global force and perceived China's efforts to project itself among Third World nations and groups as a challenge to racial capitalism and U.S. imperialism. These activists also represent a distinct trajectory of black radicalism and the U.S. Left, and by investigating their links to China this dissertation points also to China's shifting relationship[s] with the African Diaspora from 1949--1976.
520 $a The study responds to this question: how did people who were not diplomats, foreign correspondents, or government officials engage and translate the politics of the Cold War and the Post World War II Black Freedom Struggle to local, national and international populations; and how did they utilize China and Chinese communism as sites to flesh out alternative models of development, community relations, and radical politics? Utilizing primary documents, interviews, autobiographies, articles in newspapers and periodicals, speeches, audio recordings, and secondary sources, this dissertation provides an alternative narrative of the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, and the Cold War; and analyzes several black activists' transracial views and promotion of Afro-Asian solidarity. Ultimately, this dissertation is interested in the virtues and limitations that emerge when translating an epistemology or philosophy from one national and cultural context to another national and cultural milieu.
