Race for Sanctions: African Americans against Apartheid, 1946–1994. By Francis Njubi Nesbitt. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004. xiv, 217 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-253-342325.)

Francis Njubi Nesbitt's Race for Sanctions details a most significant chapter in the longstanding transnational relationship between African Americans and black South Africans that began in the nineteenth century. It is an important study primarily because it is the first comprehensive published account of the successful mobilization of African Americans to move an anti-apartheid agenda from the margins of American foreign policy in the 1940s to its very center by the mid-1980s. Its central focus on African Americans distinguishes the book from Robert Massie's exhaustive Loosing the Bonds (1997), which preoccupied itself primarily with predominantly white institutions and individuals.
