Blacks in Vietnam; A Holistic Perspective Through Fiction and Journalism.
Harris, Norman
Western Journal of Black Studies, v10 n3 p121-31 1986
Examining Afro-Americans in Vietnam in three novels reveals three components of their war experience: (1) a positive opportunity to prove fighting skills; (2) disillusionment when treated discriminatorily by white commanding officers; and (3) a cultural-historical search to make sense of their involvement in the war.
