Martha Biondi: We Are Internationalists, Gebunden

Blurb

"Through Chicagoan Prexy Nesbitt's life of organizing at the grassroots and crisscrossing the globe, we learn about long-forgotten efforts spanning decades to support the many liberation and peace struggles in southern Africa. Now more than ever, young Americans need to know that internationalism and solidarity with anticolonial struggles in the Global South have a deep history in the American Left, especially the Black Left."--Angela Y. Davis, author of Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

"At this moment, when the lives of Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, Claudette Colvin, and others are gaining fresh attention and new appreciation, Prexy Nesbitt's story is both relevant and necessary. A huge audience is eager for a deeper awareness of where we've come from, where we are today, and where we might go."--Bill Ayers, author of When Freedom Is the Question, Abolition Is the Answer

"The most consequential social movement to develop in the United States after the civil rights era of the 1960s was the movement to end apartheid in South Africa. Despite its significance, we know very little about it. And we know next to nothing about the amazing efforts of Black Americans like Prexy Nesbitt to address the colossal injustices facing the whole region of southern Africa. We Are Internationalists fills a long-standing void in our understanding of the vast and sometimes vacuous post-civil rights era."--Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation
