Black America and the Korean War: Race, War, and Desegregation

该项目旨在首次详细分析朝鲜战争中的非裔美国人。通过这样做，它将产生关于朝鲜战争、非裔美国人的军事经历、黑人争取民权的斗争以及种族和美国外交政策之间的复杂关系的新知识。随着对这场冲突的更深入理解，预期结果包括更深入地理解非裔美国人的军事经历与美国国际实力之间的交集。这场冲突在人们的记忆中因二战和越南战争而黯然失色，但这场冲突仍是国际紧张局势的根源。这些成果将通过学术专著、期刊文章和一本受欢迎的非学术书籍来传播。

This project aims to provide the first detailed analysis of African Americans in the Korean War. In so doing it will generate new knowledge on the Korean War, the African American military experience, the Black struggle for civil rights, and the complex relationship between race and US foreign policy. Along with a deeper understanding of a conflict that has been overshadowed in popular memory by World War 2 and the Vietnam War, but which remains a source of international tension, expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of the intersection between the African American military experience and US international power. These outcomes will be disseminated via a scholarly monograph, journal articles, and a popular, non-scholarly book.
