This book examines the cosmopolitanism and anticolonialism that black intellectuals, such as the African American, W.E.B. Du Bois, the Caribbeans, Marcus Garvey and George Padmore, and the Francophone West Africans, Kojo Tovalou-Houénou, Lamine Senghor, and Léopold Sédar Senghor, developed during the two world wars by fighting for freedom, equality, and justice for Senegalese and other West African colonial soldiers (known as tirailleurs) who made enormous sacrifices to liberate France from German oppression.
