As they soon learned, however, the freedom for which the United States and its allies was fighting did not extend to African Americans. Focusing on African Americans' experiences across the Asia-Pacific theater during World War Two, this book examines the interplay between national identity, the racially segregated US military culture, and the possibilities of transnational racial advancement, as African Americans contemplated not just their own oppression but that of the colonized peoples of the Pacific region. In illuminating neglected aspects of African American history and of World War Two, this book deepens our understanding of the connections between the United States' role as an international power and the racial ideologies and practices that characterized American life during the mid-twentieth century. 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xAfrican Americans. |=^A79208 650 0 African Americans |xRace identity. |=^A5190 650 0 Racism against Black people |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1432314 651 0 United States |xArmed Forces |xAfrican Americans. |=^A65446 650 7 African Americans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 African Americans |xRace identity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 Armed Forces |xAfrican Americans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01351729 650 7 Racism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 |i30372016678028 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s29.99 |tJoyner48 |uJSSC |zUSD 596 1 998 5009308
