Divided Arsenal: Race and the American State During World War IICambridge University Press, 29.01.2001 - 318 Seiten Divided Arsenal compares the causes and effects of federal race policy during World War II in factories, the Army, and agriculture. Two overarching executive imperatives--the full mobilization of industrial production and the maintenance of the New Deal Coalition--outweigh the goals of interracial reform. The history of industrial employment policies confirms the role of party and war-fighting concerns in both the creation of the Fair Employment Practices Committee and in the committee's subsequent investigative casework. While military racial policies were initially repressive by spurring black soldier resistance, they paradoxically facilitated steps toward desegregation by transforming the executive's calculation of military efficiency. |
