{"value"=>"<p>The series includes speeches Browne delivered at conferences nationwide concerning the economic policies of the United States, especially as they relate to African Americans, manuscripts for published articles, book reviews, programs, and letters to the editor about the same topic. Copies of his numerous publications are also included in this series.</p> <p>Of note is the difficulty Browne experienced in publishing a book entitled <em>Race Relations in International Affairs</em> (Public Affairs Press). This 1961 work deals with the increasing significance of non-white peoples in the world power scheme and their impact on the white world. The book suggested various courses of action Americans might have followed to meet the swiftly changing power situation. Correspondence documents Browne's problems in getting the manuscript accepted, and following publication, the poor reception it received.</p> <p>Particularly interesting is a major article Browne wrote, \"The Case for Black Separatism\" (December 1967) and the responses it elicited in the press and via correspondence; many letters and articles came out in support of Browne's ideas. The two opposing sides of this issue were discussed in the pamphlet <em>Separatism or Integration Which Way for America? A Dialogue: Robert S. Browne, Bayard Rustin</em> (1968), an expansion of Browne's first article. The contents for this pamphlet were taken from speeches delivered to the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council.</p>"}
