In the patriotic aftermath of Pearl Harbor, African Americans
demanded the right to play their part in the war against Japan. 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.
