The first history of the new deal in global context The New Deal: A Global History provides a radically new interpretation of a pivotal period in US history. The first comprehensive study of the New Deal in a global context, the book compares American responses to the international crisis of capitalism and democracy during the 1930s to responses by other countries around the globe—not just in Europe but also in Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. Work creation, agricultural intervention, state planning, immigration policy, the role of mass media, forms of political leadership, and new ways of ruling America's colonies—all had parallels elsewhere and unfolded against a backdrop of intense global debates. By avoiding the distortions of American exceptionalism, Kiran Klaus Patel shows how America's reaction to the Great Depression connected it to the wider world. Among much else, the book explains why the New Deal had enormous repercussions on China; why Franklin D. Roosevelt studied the welfare schemes of Nazi Germany; and why the New Dealers were fascinated by cooperatives in Sweden—but ignored similar schemes in Japan. Ultimately, Patel argues, the New Deal provided the institutional scaffolding for the construction of American global hegemony in the postwar era, making this history essential for understanding both the New Deal and America's rise to global leadership.

Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem in 1917. By the early 1920s, his vision of African liberation and racial uplift gained millions of supporters worldwide. This work offers a comprehensive global history of Garveyism, presenting a new interpretation of black politics between the World Wars. Adam Ewing traces Garveyism's emergence, global spread, and its impact on African descendants' responses to white supremacy and colonialism in Africa, the Caribbean, and the U.S. Ewing explores Garvey's organizing efforts and political strategies, revealing that Garveyism arose from a rich tradition of pan-African politics that connected black intellectuals across the Atlantic by the First World War. Garvey's legacy transformed this tradition into a dynamic mass movement. The book examines the individuals who facilitated Garveyism's global influence, including labor activists in the Caribbean and Central America, community organizers in the U.S., religious revivalists in Africa, and emerging leaders in Kenya. Moving beyond simplistic views of Garvey's business schemes and repatriation efforts, this work highlights the significant international impact of Garveyism and provides a cohesive framework for understanding the movement during the interwar years and beyond.
