Nation after nation fell to Japanese soldiers. How were the Japanese able to justify their occupation of so many Asian nations? And how did they find supporters in countries they subdued and exploited? Race War! delves into submerged and forgotten history to reveal how European racism and colonialism were deftly exploited by the Japanese to create allies among formerly colonized people of color. Through interviews and original archival research on five continents, Gerald Horne shows how race played a key?and hitherto ignored?;role in each phase of the war. During the conflict, the Japanese turned white racism on its head portraying the war as a defense against white domination in the Pacific. We learn about the reverse racial hierarchy practiced by the Japanese internment camps, in which whites were placed at the bottom of the totem pole, under the supervision of Chinese, Korean, and Indian guards?an embarrassing example of racial payback that was downplayed by the defeated Japanese and the humiliated Europeans and Euro-Americans. Focusing on the microcosmic example of Hong Kong but ranging from colonial India to New Zealand and the shores of the U.S., Gerald Horne radically retells the story of the war. From racist U.S. propaganda to Black Nationalist open support of Imperial Japan, information about the effect of race on U.S. and British policy is revealed for the first time. This revisionist account of the war draws connections between General Tojo, Malaysian freedom fighters, and Elijah Muhammed of the Nation of Islam and shows how white racism encouraged and enabled Japanese imperialism. In sum, Horne demonstrates that the retreat of white supremacy was not only driven by the impact of the Cold War and the energized militancy of Africans and African-Americans but by the impact of the Pacific War as well, as a chastened U.S. and U.K. moved vigorously after this conflict to remove the conditions that made Japan's success possible. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zPacific Area 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zAsia 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zJapan 606 $aCaucasian race$xSocial conditions 606 $aRacism$zJapan 606 $aRacism$zAsia 606 $aRacism$zPacific Area 607 $aAsia$xRace relations 607 $aPacific Area$xRace relations 607 $aJapan$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aCaucasian race$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aRacism 615 0$aRacism 676 $a940.53/089/009171241 700 $aHorne$b Gerald$0850651 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450168503321 996 $aRace war$92477777 997 $aUNINA
