The military built not one color line, but a complex tangle of them, involving every imaginable aspect of military life. Who served? Who fought? Who died? Who gave orders and who was forced to follow them? Who received the best ratings and jobs and pay and promotions? Who was court-martialed? Who received furloughs and leaves? Who received honorable or dishonorable discharges? Who ate at the officers' club? Who danced at the post's main recreation center? Who drank at the best pub in Cherbourg, France or swam at the nicest pool in Calcutta? Color lines, which divided American troops in various configurations, often spoke definitively in all these matters and more. Taken together, they represented a sprawling structure of white supremacy and of African American, Japanese American, and other nonwhites' subordination. Varied freedom struggles arose in response, democratizing portions of the wartime military and setting the postwar stage for its desegregation and for the flowering of civil rights movements beyond. But the costs of the military's color lines were devastating. They impeded America's war effort; undermined the nation's Four-Freedoms rhetoric; traumatized, even killed, an unknowable number of nonwhite troops; further naturalized the very concept of race; deepened many whites' investments in white supremacy, especially anti-black racism; and further fractured the American people"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, African American. 650 0 $a Discrimination in the military $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Social aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x African Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Hispanic American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Indian. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Asian American. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x Indian $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x Hispanic Americans $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x Asian Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / World War II. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / African American & Black. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351729 650 7 $a Discrimination in the military. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01764765 650 7 $a Military participation $x African American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353696 650 7 $a Military participation $x Indian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353730 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Guglielmo, Thomas A. $t Divisions $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2021] $z 9780190939908 $w (DLC) 2021016388 941 $a 2 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023258.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=179FB480253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
