Title
White War, Black Soldiers: Two African Accounts of World War I,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Strength and Goodness (ForceBont) by Bakary Diallo is one of the only memoirs of World War I ever written or published by an African. It remains a pioneering work of African literature as well as a unique and invaluable historical document about colonialism and Africas role in the Great War. Lamine Senghors The Rape of a Country (La Violation dun pays) is another pioneering French work by a Senegalese veteran of World War I, but one that offers a stark contrast to Strength and Goodness. Both are made available for the first time in English in this edition, complete with a glossary of terms and a general historical introduction. The centennial of World War I is an ideal moment to present Strength and Goodness and The Rape of a Country to a wider, Englishreading public. Until recently, Africa's role in the war has been neglected by historians and largely forgotten by the general public. Eurocentric versions of the war still predominate in popular culture, Many historians, however, now insist that African participation in the 191418 War is a large part of what made that conflict a world war.
