Fighting Against the Injustice of the State and Globalization
22
Chapter IV examines the issues of race and racism in relation to U.S. foreign policy
and the impact of this policy on the Oromo movement. Chapters III and IV prepare
the reader for our comparative analysis. Organizing these chapters in this sequence
makes possible close comparison and contrast of these two struggles. Using the com-
parative-historical and sociological approaches, chapter V compares and contrasts the
African American and Oromo movements.All of the previous chapters are intercon-
nected and their points further illustrated in this chapter. Chapter VI deals with the
limitation of nationalism and the possibility of expanding the struggles of African
Americans and Oromos to revolutionary multicultural democracy by challenging var-
ious forms of oppressive relationships and through forming alliances with antiracist,
anticolonial, and popular democratic and progressive forces on local, regional, and
global levels.
