ABSTRACT Louis Lomax was a popular public figure in the 1960s who is often relegated to tertiary status in historical accounts of both civil rights and its foreign policy outgrowths. He was the writer and reporter for Malcolm X’s introduction to the nation, The Hate That Hate Produced, co-producing the documentary with Mike Wallace. Lomax was the first black man with a syndicated television talk show, an author of several books, a journalist, and a publicity-seeking provocateur who did what he could during the decade to both report the news and to keep himself in it. His work, though often passed over in historical treatments, was read and discussed openly. His books were bestsellers. His opinions changed minds, and many of his opinions concerned foreign policy. His work was built most consistently on opposition to colonialism. Like black nationalists, Lomax saw the United States as part of the broader imperialist problem and did occasionally make a comparative American race analysis when dealing in foreign lands, but like George Washington Williams in the Belgian Congo, he more often sought to interpret foreign political actors on their own merits and within their specific contexts. The problem for Lomax was that as a freelance journalist without any real foreign policy expertise, that understanding was necessarily going to be filtered through his own racial experience, whether intentional or not, and his coverage was going to lack the nuance of those who studied the various regions more intently and for longer periods of time.

勉强的非洲人:路易斯·洛马克斯(Louis Lomax)的外交政策新闻学,1960–1968年

摘要路易·洛马克斯(Louis Lomax)在1960年代是一个受欢迎的公众人物,在有关民权及其外交政策的历史记录中,常常被降为大专。他是马尔科姆·X(Malcolm X)向美国介绍《讨厌的仇恨》的作家和记者,与麦克·华莱士共同制作了纪录片。洛马克斯(Lomax)是第一个从事联合电视脱口秀节目的黑人,写过几本书,是一名记者,也是一个寻求宣传的挑衅者,他在过去的十年中竭尽所能既报道了新闻又将自己留在了新闻中。他的作品虽然经常在历史处理中被遗忘,但仍被公开阅读和讨论。他的书很畅销。他的意见改变了主意,他的许多意见涉及外交政策。他的工作始终以反对殖民主义为基础。像黑人民族主义者一样,洛马克斯(Lomax)将美国视为更广泛的帝国主义问题的一部分,偶尔在与外国人打交道时做了美国的种族比较分析,但像比利时刚果的乔治·华盛顿·威廉姆斯(George Washington Williams)一样,他更经常试图解释外国政治人物。根据自己的优点并在其特定环境下。Lomax的问题​​在于,作为一名自由记者,没有任何真正的外交政策专业知识,必须通过他自己的种族经历(无论是否是有意的)来过滤理解,并且他的报道将缺乏那些研究该报道的人的细微差别。各个区域更专注并持续更长的时间。洛马克斯(Lomax)将美国视为更广泛的帝国主义问题的一部分,在处理外国土地时偶尔进行了比较性的美国种族分析,但像比利时刚果的乔治·华盛顿·威廉姆斯一样,他更经常试图根据自己的优点来解释外国政治演员。并在其特定环境下。Lomax的问题​​在于,作为一名自由记者,没有任何真正的外交政策专业知识,必须通过他自己的种族经历(无论是否是有意的)来过滤理解,并且他的报道将缺乏那些研究该报道的人的细微差别。各个区域更专注并持续更长的时间。洛马克斯(Lomax)将美国视为更广泛的帝国主义问题的一部分,在处理外国土地时偶尔进行了比较性的美国种族分析,但像比利时刚果的乔治·华盛顿·威廉姆斯一样,他更经常试图根据自己的优点来解释外国政治演员。并在其特定环境下。Lomax的问题​​是,作为一名自由记者,没有任何真正的外交政策专业知识,那么必须通过他自己的种族经历(无论是否是有意的)来过滤理解,并且他的报道将缺乏那些研究该报道的人的细微差别。各个区域更专注并持续更长的时间。他更多地试图根据自己的优点和具体情况来解释外国政治行为者。Lomax的问题​​是,作为一名自由记者,没有任何真正的外交政策专业知识,那么必须通过他自己的种族经历(无论是否是有意的)来过滤理解,并且他的报道将缺乏那些研究该报道的人的细微差别。各个区域更专注并持续更长的时间。他更多地试图根据自己的优点和具体情况来解释外国政治行为者。Lomax的问题​​在于,作为一名自由记者,没有任何真正的外交政策专业知识,必须通过他自己的种族经历(无论是否是有意的)来过滤理解,并且他的报道将缺乏那些研究该报道的人的细微差别。各个区域更专注并持续更长的时间。
