White War, Black Soldiers
Bakary Diallo Lamine Senghor George Robb (Redaktør) Nancy Erber (Oversetter) William Peniston (Oversetter)
"White War, Black Soldiers is a terrific read, from start to finish, and addresses such an important gap in our knowledge about Africa, Africans, and WWI. The editors offer a rich, balanced and nuanced account not just of the historical contexts in which to read these texts but also of how we should approach them—in all their complexity. Diallo’s text nicely defies a neat postcolonial reading and helps us appreciate the historical contingencies and variations of interwar ‘radicalism’. It also of course helps students confront the ongoing whiteness of WWI studies."

It remains a pioneering work of African literature as well as a unique and invaluable historical document about colonialism and Africa's role in the Great War. Les mer
