Ralph Bunche: Academic Excellence and Global Responsibility

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 April 2005

Charles P. Henry
Affiliation:
University of California at Berkeley

Extract

The pioneering career of Ralph Johnson Bunche in political science can only be briefly summarized in this limited space. Fortunately, an increasing number of works published in the last decade are rescuing his legacy for new generations. I have chosen to focus my comments on three aspects of his career: his education, his contributions to Howard University, and his contributions to the discipline of political science. (For his contributions to the APSA, see Henry 1983.)
