"In one of the most important books on Black internationalism to appear in decades, R. Joseph Parrott meticulously charts the anti-imperialist projects and alliances that consistently challenged the imposition of a Cold War framework on their independent visions. Showing how battles over different visions of global politics played out in the US Congress, Parrott restores a critical emphasis on politics to remind us of what was at stake in Cold War era anti-imperialism." (Penny Von Eschen, University of Virginia) "In Dream the Size of Freedom, R. Joseph Parrott has provided a groundbreaking history of liberation movements in Lusophone Africa during the 1960s and 1970s and how they fostered unprecedented cooperation across racial, generational, and ideological lines among US activists and political organizers. His compelling analysis of 'grassroots diplomacy' highlights African nationalist groups like FRELIMO and its communication, collaboration, and common cause with American religious humanists, young radicals, and civil rights activists to create lasting networks of solidarity that prioritized racial equality, cultural authenticity, and democratic participation over US Cold War imperatives—a distinctive New Left Internationalism—and that helped dismantle the final vestiges of formal European colonial rule in Africa." (Benjamin Talton, Howard University) "This is a brilliant work, one of the best accounts in years of the complex interactions between anticolonial and liberation movements in the decolonizing world and the dynamic, evolving, decentralized activist politics they helped to pioneer. Creatively argued, deeply researched, and elegantly written, Dream the Size of Freedom is wholly original in its portrayal of the singular impact of Southern African militancy on the radicalization of the American left."
