Carol Anderson. Eyes off the Prize: The United Nations and the African American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944–1955. New York: Cambridge University Press. 2003. Pp. x, 302. Cloth $65.00, paper $22.00.
Until about fifteen years ago, very few scholars examined connections between the field of U.S. foreign relations, on the one hand, and the fields of African-American history and American race relations, on the other.

Scholarly attention to the intersection between race and foreign relations received a boost in the late 1980s from two seminal publications, which embodied two different emphases.

Dudziak's "Desegregation as a Cold War Imperative" (Stanford Law Review 41 [1988]) demonstrated the critical role that foreign policy considerations played in the struggle for race reform within the United States. Then the dam began to break, and a whole host of new research has rushed downstream into publication since the early 1990s, further illuminating the fascinating and complicated relationships between the color line at home and American relationships abroad with a mostly nonwhite world.	. . .
