商品簡介
Krenn (history, Appalachian State U.) contends that race has played and continues to play as important a role in the formation and implementation of US foreign policy as economics, politics, and strategic interests. In support of this argument, he describes the development of the concept of race the shape it took in early American history; the racism of the Mexican-American war, the occupation of the Philippines, and other early forays into empire; the way that both Chinese immigration and Japanese imperialism were framed as part of the "Yellow Peril;" and connections between US relations with Africa, the civil rights movement, and African-American reactions to the Vietnam war.
