More about the book
The narrative explores the NAACP's efforts to advocate for human rights in the wake of World War II, seizing the moment to confront segregation and inequality in the U.S. It highlights the organization's strategic shift to leverage the human rights framework influenced by the Holocaust. However, the rise of the Cold War and anti-communism hindered these ambitions, forcing the NAACP to adopt a more limited civil rights agenda. Carol Anderson, an esteemed scholar, examines these dynamics and their implications for the Civil Rights Movement's effectiveness in achieving true black equality.
