Gosse, Professor and Associate Chair of History, Program Chair of Africana Studies, Franklin andamp; Marshall College***New York City, September 1960. Fidel Castro - champion of the oppressed, scourge of colonialism, and leftist revolutionary - arrives for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly. His visit to the UN represents a golden opportunity to make his mark on the world stage.Fidel's shock arrival in Harlem is met with a rapturous reception from the local African American community. He holds court from the iconic Hotel Theresa as a succession of world leaders, black freedom fighters and counter-cultural luminaries - everyone from Nikita Khrushchev to Gamal Abdel Nasser, Malcolm X to Allen Ginsberg - come calling. Then, during his landmark address to the UN General Assembly - one of the longest speeches in the organisation's history - he promotes the politics of anti-imperialism with a fervour, and an audacity, that makes him an icon of the 1960s.In this unforgettable slice of modern history, Simon Hall reveals how these ten days were a foundational moment in the trajectory of the Cold War, a turning point in the history of anti-colonial struggle, and a launching pad for the social, cultural and political tumult of the decade that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Hall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44217449152572,"sku":"9780571353071","price":1646.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/Ten-Days-in-Harlem_-Fidel-Castro-and-the-Making-of-the-1960s-Hardcover.jpg?v=1776763384","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/ten-days-in-harlem-fidel-castro-and-the-making-of-the-1960s-hardcover","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
