This collection of essays arose from a workshop held jointly by the Oxford Center for Research in United States History and the Princeton University history department and brings new perspectives to bear on the topic.

The 'Good War: The Second World War and Postwar American Society
During the various fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the second world war, culminating in D-Day, VE and VJ Day commemorations, many Americans, with participants from other nations, remembered countrymen who died in the years following Pearl Harbor. Others also looked back nostalgically to the second world war which, according to some observers, was 'the Good War', America's 'finest hour', and 'the most popular war in American history'. The his…
War and Racial Progress the African American Experience During World War Ii
Historians have increasingly written of World War II as a turning point in African American history. However, wartime change was part of an ongoing process and often occasioned considerable resistance. The riots of 1943 point to the complexity of the war's impact. However, there is little doubt that wartime social and economic change, coupled with the experience of military service, did much to foster a mood of hope and expectation among African …

The second World War had a great impact on the black American population. The issues of military participation and the aims expressed in Allied propaganda were seized upon by Afro-Americans in order to press their claims for equality at home. This war on two fronts, as it was called, found expression in black newspapers, in literature, and in song and the common theme was that service in the armed forces or in defence industries would, or at leas…

The impact of the Second World War on the American Negro
Among the numerous adjustments the American people had to make at the end of the second world war was adaptation to a new position of the Negro in the United States.' Thus one of the most eminent of Negro historians confirmed the wartime prediction of the Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal, that 'There is bound to be a redefinition of the Negro's status as a result of this war'. 1 That the war was crucial to the American Negro is generally accepte…
