Fighting Tradition: A Marine's Journey to JusticeUniversity of Hawaii Press, 2003 M09 30 - 256 páginas Determined to be a U.S. Marine Corps officer, Bruce Yamashita enrolled in Officer Candidate School, where he was the target of persistent racial harassment by officers and staff. After enduring nine weeks of emotional and physical abuse, Yamashita was "disenrolled" in April 1989—kicked out of the Marine Corps because of the color of his skin. Fighting Tradition is Yamashita’s own story of his courageous struggle to expose a pattern of racial discrimination against minorities that has existed at various levels of the Corps. |
