Negroes Speak of War: Black Studies, U. S. Imperialism, and Public Policy

Peter James Hudson, Departments of African American Studies and History, University of California, Los Angeles, will address the questions: What role do critiques of US imperial strategy have within the field of Black Studies, and in what ways should these critiques impact public policy? This lecture will explore these questions by considering the debates on anti-imperialism through a range of institutions and organizations, paying special attention to questions of US foreign intervention and the political-economy of militarism.
