520 The surprising alliance between Japan and pro-Tokyo
African Americans during World War II In November 1942 in
East St. Louis, Illinois a group of African Americans
engaged in military drills were eagerly awaiting a
Japanese invasion of the U.S.-- an invasion that they
planned to join. Since the rise of Japan as a superpower
less than a century earlier, African Americans across
class and ideological lines had saluted the Asian nation,
not least because they thought its very existence
undermined the pervasive notion of "white supremacy." The
list of supporters included Booker T. Washington, Marcus
Garvey, and particularly W.E.B. Du Bois. Facing the Rising
Sun tells the story of the widespread pro-Tokyo sentiment
among African Americans during World War II, arguing that
the solidarity between the two groups was significantly
corrosive to the U.S. war effort. Gerald Horne
demonstrates that Black Nationalists of various stripes
were the vanguard of this trend--including followers of
Garvey and the precursor of the Nation of Islam. Indeed,
many of them called themselves "Asiatic", not African.
Following World War II, Japanese-influenced "Afro-Asian"
solidarity did not die, but rather foreshadowed Dr. Martin
Luther King's tie to Gandhi's India and Black
Nationalists' post-1970s fascination with Maoist China and
Ho's Vietnam. Based upon exhaustive research, including
the trial transcripts of the pro-Tokyo African Americans
who were tried during the war, congressional archives and
records of the Negro press, this book also provides
essential background for what many analysts consider the
coming "Asian Century." An insightful glimpse into the
Black Nationalists' struggle for global leverage and new
allies, Facing the Rising Sun provides a complex, holistic
perspective on a painful period in African American
history, and a unique glimpse into the meaning of "the
enemy of my enemy is my friend."
