Recenzii
'Chris Dixon shines a brilliant new light on how the experience of African American soldiers in the Pacific during World War Two significantly differed from that in Europe. Probing the complexity of how blacks related to other peoples of color in the Pacific, he illuminates the distinctive character of American racism - and its persistence - not only with white American soldiers, but also in interaction with non-whites from other nations.' William Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of History, Emeritus, Duke University, North Carolina
'Chris Dixon is a masterful story-teller and astute historian. He has uncovered a hitherto overlooked story about the role of African Americans during the Pacific War. It is a 'must-read' for anyone curious about race, sexuality, national identity, and militarism in America during times of war.' Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College, University of London and author of Wounding the World
'In fresh and fascinating detail, Chris Dixon's African Americans and the Pacific War, 1941–1945 reveals the importance of the war in African Americans' long struggle to achieve freedom and equality. Meticulously researched and well written, it is a terrific book.' Shane White, Challis Professor of History at the University of Sydney, and author of Prince of Darkness
'Chris Dixon has written an insightful and superb study of the African American experience in the Pacific during World War Two. Comprehensive and meticulously researched, African Americans and the Pacific War, 1941–1945 is destined to become one of the standard works in the study of the Black experience in World War Two.' James Westheider, University of Cincinnati, and author of The African American Experience in Vietnam
'Prof. Dixon (Macquarie University) looks at the complex experiences of African Americans in the war against Japan. … This is a very nuanced work.' The NYMAS Review
