论二战中美国黑人士兵英雄主义的根源.pdfVIP

摘 要 第二次世界大战是人类历史上最为惨烈的全球性战争。几乎每一个民族和宗教都成为 了战争的受害者，也涌现出了英雄。如同美国战争历史上的很多时期一样，在二战期间， 黑人士兵也为他们的国家做出了不可磨灭的贡献。许许多多的黑人战士，无论男女，都在 二战中付出了宝贵的生命。对美国来说，他们是英雄。当然，为自己的祖国而战是每个公 民的责任，但对于美国的黑人公民来说，要履行这个责任却是超乎想象的困难。从美国早 期的历史开始，黑人就被视为“天生的胆小鬼”而遭到歧视。在二战初期，他们被拒绝作 为士兵参战，没有持枪的资格，只能在军队中做一些体力劳动。奇怪的是，即使受到自己 祖国和同胞如此的歧视和敌意，黑人们仍然对参战的机会充满了渴望，一旦获得机会，他 们英勇战斗，书写了可歌可泣的英雄事迹。许多人认为黑人士兵的英勇作战不过是战场上 无思考的本能行为，但作者认为在黑人的英雄主义背后，必定存在某种动力。 文章首先介绍了在二战中黑人士兵遭受的对待和他们是在怎样一种环境下作战，然后 通过分析黑人士兵的思想，论述了他们既不是美国政府所认为的“无脑炮灰”，也不是对自 身所受到的歧视毫无反应的有勇无谋的笨蛋。他们是富有爱国热情的英雄。但与白人英雄 们不同，黑人的英雄主义不止向往着个人的荣耀，也充满着得到社会认可的渴望。 通过本文的写作，作者阐述了自己的观点，揭露了黑人英雄主义的根源，描述了一个 种族是如何在逆境下自强不息并最终在某种程度上得到了社会的认可。 关键词：黑人士兵；英雄主义；歧视；渴望；荣誉 Abstract World War Ⅱ was the greatest global military conflict in the history of mankind.

Thousands of black men and women patriots gave their lives in World War Ⅱwith their stories remain untold. They were the invisible heroes of America.
