Black Veteranality

Military Service and the Illusion of Inclusive Patriotism

About this book

How does military service collide with Black identity in a racially stratified America? Black Veteranality is an examination of the intersection of race, patriotism, and military service from the perspective of Black veterans, offering a robust framework for reimagining American patriotism and reframing veteran identity. Black veteranality emerges through an interdisciplinary synthesis of W.E.B. Du Bois' foundational concept of "double consciousness"ā€”the psychological duality Black Americans experience when negotiating racialized identity formationsā€” and Veteran Critical Theory's (VCT's) structural analysis of institutional power dynamics shaping military service members. Through critical ethnography and narrative interviews, this conceptual framework interrogates monolithic veteran narratives by documenting how Black service members simultaneously embody patriotic ideals through military service while confronting systemic racism's psychological toll and navigate what critical race scholars term the White gazeā€”a hegemonic social mechanism that perpetuates exclusion through perpetual scrutiny of Black veterans' cultural authenticity and national belonging. Essential reading for scholars of African American studies, American studies, veteran studies, and military professions, this work bridges academia and activism, proving true loyalty lies in confronting systemic inequities.
