Labor Priests: Progressive Politics and the Catholic Church, John A. Ryan Papers, 1892-1945
The Francis J. Haas Collection documents Haas’s lifelong dedication to the Catholic Church and workers’ welfare. The collection includes materials from his family, his time as a seminary student in the early 1900s, and his role as an educator and cleric from the 1920s until his death in 1953. The materials focus most heavily, however, on his role as a public servant in New Deal agencies and as a labor arbitrator in the 1930s and 1940s. The collection includes materials on Haas’s positions in New Deal agencies, as a labor arbitrator, his role as chair of Fair Employment Practices Committee and his contributions to academia and religious studies at The Catholic University of America. – Publisher

Race Against Empire: Black Americans and Anticolonialism, 1937–1957
Race against Empire tells the poignant story of a popular movement and its precipitate decline with the onset of the Cold War. Von Eschen documents the efforts of African-American political leaders, intellectuals, and journalists who forcefully promoted anti-colonial politics and critiqued U.S. foreign policy. The eclipse of anti-colonial politics—which Von Eschen traces through African-American responses to the early Cold War, U.S. government prosecution of black American anti-colonial activists, and State Department initiatives in Africa—marked a change in the very meaning of race and racism in America from historical and international issues to psychological and domestic ones. – Publisher
