Description

The book explores the treatment of Black and African soldiers during and after the Second World War. It will be of interest to students and researchers of 20th century history, of Black and African Studies, and of sociological and political issues, including racism (especially in the media), identity politics, colonialism and more. Eighty years after the end of the WWII, the contributions of the African legion is barely chronicled.

This book is couched in conflict history, and hinges on identity politics and the injustices of racism and discrimination.
