Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's experiences hosting and interacting with a company of Senegalese Tirailleurs during the First World War. The author's initial unease gradually transforms into admiration and genuine affection as she unravels the humanity and charm beneath the soldiers' intimidating facade. Beyond mere anecdotes, the book subtly challenges racist stereotypes prevalent at the time. The author juxtaposes the Senegalese's dignified, often chivalrous conduct against the petty prejudices of certain French civilians. Through insightful observations of daily life and candid conversations, the author invites us to question our preconceived notions of race and otherness. This book is a valuable historical document and a moving tribute to the humanity that can transcend conflict and cultural differences. It reminds us of the urgent need to combat prejudice and embrace mutual understanding.
