Aujourd'hui, de nombreuses fondations américaines soutiennent des institutions ou des programmes à l'étranger, mais peu ont été actives sur la scène mondiale depuis aussi longtemps que Carnegie Corporation de New York. A World of Giving fournit un examen approfondi et objectif des activités internationales de Carnegie Corporation, l'une des institutions philanthropiques les plus anciennes et les plus respectées d'Amérique, qui a été créée par le baron de l'acier Andrew Carnegie en 1911 pour soutenir l'avancement et la diffusion des connaissances et de la compréhension. Le livre explique en détail le processus d'octroi de subvention visant à promouvoir la sous-traitance. debout à travers les cultures et recherche dans de nombreux pays à travers le monde A World of Giving souligne l'importance vitale de la mission de Carnegie Corporation pour guider son travail, et le rôle des présidents de fondation en tant que leaders de la pensée et de l'action. Les présidents, les administrateurs et, plus tard, les membres du personnel, sont l'élément humain qui anime la philanthropie et ils sont l'objectif à travers lequel voir le fonctionnement interne des institutions philanthropiques, avec toutes les forces et les limites qui les accompagnent, en particulier lorsqu'ils se lancent dans des activités internationales. Il ne craint pas non plus la controverse, y compris les premiers faux pas au Canada, les problèmes de race et de pauvreté dans les années 1930 et 1980 liés à l'Afrique du Sud, la promotion d'études régionales touchées par l'ère McCarthy, la critique de l'assistance technique dans les pays en développement, l'échec d'un siècle à atteindre la compréhension internationale des Américains et les critiques récentes de l'Australie. historians of the Le travail de transformation de la nation de la société là-bas Il s'agit d'un examen complet du travail d'une fondation sur la scène internationale ainsi que d'un modèle pour la façon dont la philanthropie peut être pratiquée dans un monde profondément interconnecté où les conflits abondent, mais le progrès peut être stimulé par des institutions réfléchies et tournées vers l'avenir suivant les principes humanistes

Since its publication in 1944, many Americans have described Gunnar Myrdal's 'An American Dilemma' as a defining text on US race relations. Here, Maribel Morey confirms with historical evidence what many critics of the book have suspected: it was not commissioned, funded or written with the goal of challenging white supremacy.

In the first half of the twentieth century, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation helped to create and maintain a cultural and intellectual infrastructure in Canada that benefited key institutions such as University of Toronto, McGill University, the National Gallery, the Humanities Research Council of Canada, and the Canadian Social Science Research Council. Jeffrey Brison documents how American philanthropy facilitated the transformation from a private, localized system of cultural, intellectual, and academic patronage to a complex, nation-based system of incorporated patronage - a system in which the major patron was the federal state. His study calls into question our essentialistic notions of contrasting national identities and the now-mythologized juxtaposition of an American culture fueled by the free market with a Canadian one sustained by state support.

A pathbreaking history of the development of scientific racism, white nationalism, and segregationist philanthropy in the U.S. and South Africa in the early twentieth century, Waste of a White Skin focuses on the American Carnegie Corporation's study of race in South Africa, the Poor White Study, and its influence on the creation of apartheid. This book demonstrates the ways in which U.S. elites supported apartheid and Afrikaner Nationalism in the critical period prior to 1948 through philanthropic interventions and shaping scholarly knowledge production. Rather than comparing racial democracies and their engagement with scientific racism, Willoughby-Herard outlines the ways in which a racial regime of global whiteness constitutes domestic racial policies and in part animates black consciousness in seemingly disparate and discontinuous racial democracies. This book uses key paradigms in black political thought-black feminism, black internationalism, and the black radical tradition-to provide a rich account of poverty and work. Much of the scholarship on whiteness in South Africa overlooks the complex politics of white poverty and what they mean for the making of black political action and black people's presence in the economic system. Ideal for students, scholars, and interested readers in areas related to U.S. History, African History, World History, Diaspora Studies, Race and Ethnicity, Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science.
