This volume brings together an international cast of scholars from
a variety of fields to examine the racial and colonial aspects of
the First World War, and show how issues of race and empire shaped
its literature and culture. The global nature of the First World
War is fast becoming the focus of intense inquiry. This book
analyses European discourses about colonial participation and
recovers the war experience of different racial, ethnic and
national groups, including the Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, Maori,
West Africans and Jamaicans. It also investigates testimonial and
literary writings, from war diaries and nursing memoirs to Irish,
New Zealand and African American literature, and analyses processes
of memory and commemoration in the former colonies and dominions.
Drawing upon archival, literary and visual material, the book
provides a compelling account of the conflict's reverberations in
Europe and its empires and reclaims the multiracial dimensions of
war memory.
