Becoming the first black Nobel Laureate in 1950, he was subsequently named Undersecretary of the U.N. Charles Henry's penetrating biography restores Bunche to his rightful place in American history by illuminating Bunche's lasting service and his constant struggle over the relative importance of his racial and national identity. Bunche's Iconic status, like that of other prominent, mainstream black figures such as Colin Powell required a constant struggle over the relative importance of his racial identity and his national identity Henry's biography shines both as the recovered story of a prominent American, and a case study in the racial politics of public service.
Activist, international statesman, reluctant black leader, scholar, icon, father and husband, Ralph Bunche is one of the most complicated and fascinating figures in the history of twentieth- century America. Bunche played a central role in shaping international relations from the 1940s through the 1960s, first as chief of the Africa section of the Office of Strategic Services and then as part of the State Department group working to establish the United Nations. After moving to the U.N. as Director of Trusteeship, he became the first black Nobel Laureate in 1950 and was subsequently named Undersecretary of the U.N. For nearly a decade, he was the most celebrated contemporary African American both domestically and abroad. Today he is virtually forgotten. Charles Henry's penetrating biography counters this historical tragedy, recapturing the essence of Bunche's service to America and the world. Moreover, Henry ably demonstrates how Bunche's rise and fall as a public symbol tells us as much about America as it does about Bunche. His iconic status, like that of other prominent, mainstream black figures like Colin Powell, required a constant struggle over the relative importance of his racial identity and his national identity. Henry's biography shines as both the recovered story of a classic American, and as a case study in the racial politics of public service.
