Black Shame offers a detailed analysis of the recruitment and
deployment of - and reactions to - African soldiers in the WWI
European theatre of war. In so doing, the book paints a vivid
picture of the wider debates of race and national identity provoked
by the use of African troops within the main actors on the WWI
scene: France, Britain, Germany and even the US. Drawing on
war-time attitudes, Dick van Galen Last explores the reality and
long-term consequences of the participation of African regiments in
the post-war occupation of the German territories. Wide-ranging,
both geographically and thematically, the first publication of its
kind, Black Shame adds a fresh, truly comparative perspective to
the scholarship in the fields of imperial and military history, as
well as war studies and postcolonial studies, and will appeal to
academics and postgraduate students alike.
