- [Slavery, the Slave Trade and the Roots of U\.S\. Imperialism](https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/slavery-theslavetrade/): In 1875 Confederate military officers from Dixie were recruited by Egypt to lead an invasion of Ethiopia, which could have led to an expansion of the slave trade\.

So begins this riveting history by Gerald Horne\.

U\.S\. imperialism has diverse roots, Indigenous dispossession and enslavement \(predominantly\) of West Africans not least\. Yet, after the Civil War, numerous U\.S\. nationals decamped to Africa to resume enslavement—including the buying of Africans—often in league with Cairo\. Enslavement of Africans in West Asia \(the "Middle East"\) actually predated the trans\-Atlantic versions\. Similarly, when massive petroleum deposits were discovered in today’s Iraq and Iran at the beginning of the 20th century, a budding U\.S\. imperialism was poised to benefit given its pre\-existing role in the region\.

To understand the roots of imperialism in the "Middle East," this book is a great place to start\.
- [White Supremacy Confronted: U\.S\. Imperialism and Anti\-Communism vs\. the Liberation of Southern Africa\.\.\.](https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/white-supremacy-confronted-u-s-imperialism-vs-the-liberation-of-southern-africa-from-rhodes-to-mandela/): Gerald Horne traces the close ties between Nelson Mandela, Paul Robeson, and W\.E\.B\. Du Bois \- among others \- and how their working in tandem with the socialist camp \(particularly the Soviet Union and Cuba\) was the deciding factor \(along with the struggles of Africans and their allies on both sides of the Atlantic\) in compelling the reluctant retreat of the comrades\-in\-arms: apartheid and Jim Crow\.
- [Armed Struggle?](https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/armed-struggle/): In this exhaustively researched book, Gerald Horne sketches the apparent paradox of some African Americans turning to armed struggle at a time when it appeared that Jim Crow was retreating\. He draws critical distinctions between armed propaganda, armed self\-defense—and armed struggle— all of which he places in a global context of anti\-war activism, the Cold War, and African liberation\.

 
- [The Damned Don't Cry](https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/the-damned-dont-cry/): Frank Chapman tells his story of struggles against segregation and racism, brutality and exploitation\. Sentenced at age 19 to be incarcerated for life plus 50 years, Chapman tells his story of struggles behind the walls of a Missouri prison\. Here also is the story of the  international campaign, led by the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, that led to his freedom\.

"\.\.\.A riveting account of a prisoner's unrelenting journey toward freedom\." \- Angela Davis
- [China’s Economic Dialectic](https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/chinas-economic-dialectic/): This work reflects an open Marxism, drawing on different views and debates, and various movement ver­naculars, in the continuing world struggle for socialism\.
