Description

"Fighting for Hope" explores the experiences of African American soldiers in the 93rd Infantry Division during World War II, examining their struggles against both the enemy and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army. The author utilizes a variety of sources, including archival records, oral histories, and personal correspondence, to illuminate the social, political, and cultural boundaries shaping the Black GIs' wartime service and their interactions with the military and American society. The book details their training at Fort Huachuca, their deployment in the Pacific theater, and the challenges faced by their families on the home front. It further investigates the complex relationships between Black servicemen, white officers, and the Black press, highlighting their fight for dignity and recognition. Ultimately, the study connects these wartime experiences to the burgeoning civil rights movement in the postwar era.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Hope-American-Infantry-Division/dp/080188828X?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=96de488527be7d41c12ba1d56bfd3910&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
