World War II was no different in this regard, and Paul Alkebulan argues that it was the most important moment in the long history of that important institution. American historians have often postulated that WWII was a pivotal moment for the modern civil rights movement. This argument is partially based on the pressing need to convincingly appeal to the patriotism and self-interest of black citizens in the fight against fascism and its racial doctrines. This appeal would have to recognize long standing and well-known grievances of African Americans and offer some immediate resolution to these problems, such as increased access to better housing and improved job prospects. 230 African American newspapers were prime actors in this struggle. Black editors and journalists gave a coherent and organized voice to the legitimate aspirations and grievances of African Americans for decades prior to WWII. In addition, they presented an alternative and more inclusive vision of democracy. The African American Press in World War II: Toward Victory at Home and Abroad shows how they accomplished this goal, and is different from other works in this field because it interprets WWII at home and abroad through the eyes of a diverse black press. Alkebulan shows the wide ranging interest of the press prior to the war and during the conflict." -- Publisher's website. 000728659 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000728659 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xPress coverage$$zUnited States. 000728659 650_0 $$aAfrican American press$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000728659 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xAfrican Americans. 000728659 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAlkebulan, Paul.$$tAfrican American press in World War II.$$dLanham : Lexington Books, c2014$$z9780739190760$$w(DLC) 2014006072$$w(OCoLC)870985341 000728659 8520_ $$bacq 000728659 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000728659 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000728659 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1680375$$zOnline Access 000728659 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1680375$$zOnline Access 000728659 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:728659$$pGLOBAL_SET 000728659 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000728659 980__ $$aBIB 000728659 982__ $$aEbook 000728659 983__ $$aOnline
