{"product_id":"9780674979727","title":"Colored Cosmopolitanism","description":"A hidden history connects India and the United States, the world’s two  largest democracies. From the late nineteenth century through the 1960s,  activists worked across borders of race and nation to push both  countries toward achieving their democratic principles. At the heart of  this shared struggle, African Americans and Indians forged bonds ranging  from statements of sympathy to coordinated acts of solidarity. Within  these two groups, certain activists developed a colored cosmopolitanism,  a vision of the world that transcended traditional racial distinctions.  These men and women agitated for the freedom of the “colored world,”  even while challenging the meanings of both color and freedom.“Slate  exhaustively charts the liberation movements of the world’s two largest  democracies from the 19th century to the 1960s. There’s more to this  connection than the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s debt to Mahatma  Gandhi, and Slate tells this fascinating tale better than anyone ever  has.”—Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“Slate does  more than provide a fresh history of the Indian anticolonial movement  and the U.S. civil rights movement; his seminal contribution is his  development of a nuanced conceptual framework for later historians to  apply to studying other transnational social movements.”—K.
