                                                           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.
