"Kimberley L. Phillips's superb book tells the long overdue story of the disproportionate impact of yank wars on African Americans as well as their resistance to this unequal burden. Her expansive catalogue of black artistic engagement with wartime struggles for justice--from the Double V campaign to Baghdad Hip Hop--creates a brand new groove inside the study of yank protest culture. The book sounds off beautifully, voicing cries of freedom with the guns of war."--Bill V. Mullen, Purdue University, author of Afro-Orientalism and Popular Fronts: Chicago and Dark Cultural Politics, 1935-1946
African Americans' long campaign for "the to fight" forced Harry Truman to issue his 1948 executive order calling for equality of treatment and opportunity inside armed forces. Phillips examines how blacks' participation in the nation's wars after Truman's order and their protracted struggles for equal citizenship galvanized a vibrant antiwar activism that reshaped their struggles for freedom.
