Martha Biondi tells the story of one such group of activists, who built an internationalist movement in Chicago committed to liberation everywhere but especially to ending colonialism and apartheid in Africa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Among their leaders was Prexy Nesbitt. Steeped from an early age in stories of Garveyism and labor militancy, Nesbitt was powerfully influenced by his encounters with the exiled African radicals he met in Dar es Salaam, London, and across the United States. Operating domestically and abroad, Nesbitt's cohort worked closely with opponents of Portuguese and white minority rule in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa. Rather than promoting a US conception of Black self-determination, they took ideas from African anticolonial leaders and injected them into US foreign policy debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The biography of a man but even more so of a movement, \u003ci\u003eWe Are Internationalists\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the underappreciated influence of a transformative Black solidarity project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Biondi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520417712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520417717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Martha Biondi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962020122879,"sku":"9780520417717","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c06eb20-041a-4788-8998-abab3f513a17.jpg?v=1750649073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-are-internationalists-martha-biondi-9780520417717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
