520 Few concepts evoke the twentieth century's record of total
war, genocide, repression, and extremism more powerfully
than the idea of totalitarianism: the ideological core of
narratives of World War II and the Cold War. Yet the
totalitarian experience, this book contends, shaped and
was shaped by narratives of the rise and fall of the world
color line. Extant works continue to confine the study of
totalitarianism to Europe's collapse in World War II or to
comparisons between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
Race and the Totalitarian Century parts ways with
proponents and detractors of these normative conceptions
to tell a strikingly different story. This story
crystallizes in midcentury efforts by U.S. state actors to
conscript Black Americans and their colonial counterparts
into the global antitotalitarian struggle. For some
critics, these efforts reoriented Black political actors
around U.S. liberalism, or propelled them defiantly and
misguidedly into the Communist sphere. By contrast, this
book shows how an array of Black writers deflected,
reimagined, and manipulated the appeals of liberalism and
its antitotalitarian rhetoric in the service of
decolonization. This skeptical view of the wartime
opposition of totalitarian slavery and democratic freedom,
the author argues, enabled writers like Richard Wright,
W.E.B. Du Bois, Shirley Graham, C.L.R. James, and John A.
Williams to formulate a powerful independent perspective
from which to diagnose the convergence of the Cold War and
the color line. Shedding new light on watersheds like the
Bandung Conference of 1955 and the Suez Canal Crisis of
1956, this book develops a bird's-eye view of Black
culture and politics that is at once an alternative
history of the totalitarian century.--|cProvided by
