项目摘要
The research project examines black and Indian military heroism to shed light on the dynamic interrelationship of racially marginalized masculinities and American nationalism between 1941 and 1978. The masculinity of war and the masculinity of national belonging have been inextricably intertwined in Western cultures. This interrelationship is epitomized in the heroic citizen soldier. However, this ideal frequently served exclusionary functions. Particularly in the United States, the white warrior hero became a central exemplar of national manhood that marginalized African Americans and Native Americans. Consequently, the acknowledgment of black and Indian military heroism took on tremendous social, cultural, and political importance. To better understand this dynamic interrelationship, the project focuses on the question of how African American and Native American veterans, activists, and journalists utilized military heroism to challenge their marginalization as men and citizens during the civil rights era and beyond. It poses the hypothesis that heroic military service during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War as well as the memory of heroism in previous military conflicts afforded these men a crucial opportunity to affirm their manhood and to challenge their marginalization. The focus is on these two minorities and the period 1941-1978 because World War II marked the beginning of a period of sustained activism for African American and Native American civil rights as well as increasing visibility and acknowledgment of black and Indian valor on the battlefield. Comparing these two groups also helps explain similarities and differences between white, black, and indigenous interpretations of masculinity, nation, and heroism. The project follows a new cultural history approach and is comprised of two subprojects that utilize the concept of hegemonic masculinity and rely on multidisciplinary methodologies from oral history and memory studies. By concentrating on the largely unexamined agency of racially marginalized masculinities in processes of cultural nation building, the project makes important contributions to the historical study of the gender dimensions of U.S. nationalism. In addition, its analysis of how interpretations of black and Indian heroic soldiers changed over time provides new insights into the history and the memory of military heroism in the United States. Finally, the project helps us better understand how heroism structured social, cultural, and political hierarchies in American society.
该研究项目考察了黑人和印度人的军事英雄主义,以揭示1941年至1978年间种族边缘化的男性气质和美国民族主义的动态相互关系。战争的男子气概和民族归属的男子气概在西方文化中密不可分。这种相互关系集中体现在英勇的公民士兵身上。然而,这一理想常常起到排斥作用。特别是在美国,白色战士英雄成为国家男子气概的核心典范,使非裔美国人和土著美国人边缘化。因此,对黑人和印第安人的军事英雄主义的承认具有巨大的社会、文化和政治意义。为了更好地了解这种动态的相互关系,该项目侧重于非洲裔美国人和美洲原住民退伍军人,活动家和记者如何利用军事英雄主义来挑战他们在民权时代及以后作为男性和公民的边缘化问题。它提出了一个假设,即在第二次世界大战、朝鲜战争和越南战争期间的英勇兵役,以及对以前军事冲突中英雄主义的记忆,为这些人提供了一个重要的机会,以肯定他们的男子气概,并挑战他们的边缘化。重点是这两个少数民族和1941年至1978年期间,因为第二次世界大战标志着一个时期的持续行动主义为非洲裔美国人和美洲原住民的公民权利,以及越来越多的知名度和承认黑人和印第安人的英勇在战场上的开始。比较这两个群体也有助于解释白色、黑人和土著人对男子气概、民族和英雄主义的解释之间的异同。该项目采用新的文化史方法,由两个分项目组成,利用霸权男性的概念,并依靠口述历史和记忆研究的多学科方法。通过集中在文化国家建设过程中的种族边缘化男性的基本上未经审查的机构,该项目作出了重要贡献的历史研究的性别层面的美国民族主义。此外,它对黑人和印第安英雄士兵的解释如何随着时间的推移而变化的分析为美国军事英雄主义的历史和记忆提供了新的见解。最后,该项目帮助我们更好地了解英雄主义如何构建美国社会的社会,文化和政治等级。
