African American Experience During World War II

Informationen zum Autor Neil A. Wynn Klappentext World War II was crucial in the development of the emerging Civil Rights movement, whether through the economic and social impact of the war, or through demands for equality in the military. This period was characterized by an intense transformation of black hopes and expectations, encouraged by real socio-economic shifts and departures in federal policy. During the war, black self consciousness found powerful expression in new movements such as the 'Double V' campaign that linked the fight for democracy at home for the fight for democracy abroad.
