Benjamin Balthaser, "Anti-Imperialist Modernism: Race and Transnational Radical Culture"
English | ISBN: 0472119710 | 2016 | 336 pages | PDF | 3 MB

Anti-Imperialist Modernism suggests that U.S. multi-ethnic cultural movements, located in political parties, small journals, labour unions, and struggles for racial liberation, helped construct a common sense of international solidarity that critiqued ideas of nationalism and essentialized racial identity. The book thus moves beyond accounts that have tended to view the pre-war œPopular FrontĀ through tropes of national belonging or an abandonment of the cosmopolitanism of previous decades.
The books impressive archival research brings to light the ways in which a transnational vision of modernism and modernity was fashioned through anti-colonial networks of North/South solidarity. Chapters examine farmworker photographers in Californias central valley, a Nez Perce intellectual traveling to the Soviet Union, imaginations of the Haitian Revolution, the memory of the U.S."Mexico War, and U.S. radical writers traveling to Cuba.
The last chapter examines how the Cold War foreclosed these movements within a nationalist framework, when activists and intellectuals had to suppress the transnational nature of their movements, often rewriting the cultural past to conform to a patriotic narrative of national belonging.
