Ralph Bunche: ‘The Absolutely Indispensable Man’
When Kal Raustiala first set up his office in Bunche Hall in 2006, the UCLA professor didn’t know much about Ralph Bunche, he admits in his new book, “The Absolutely Indispensable Man: Ralph Bunche, the United Nations, and the Fight to End Empire” (Oxford University Press).
He knew that Bunche had won the Nobel Peace Prize (the only UCLA graduate to do so) and, as a leader at the United Nations, had been one of the few Black Americans to rise to the top ranks of midcentury diplomacy.
But beyond that, he knew almost nothing about Bunche’s brilliant career. With this illuminating, insightful biography, Raustiala fills that gap handily and gives readers a chance to know much, much more about this visionary, courageous internationalist.
Raustiala is the Promise Institute Distinguished Professor of Comparative and International Law and director of the Burkle Center for International Relations at UCLA.
