Why did african american and other minority men find postwar discrimination especially upsetting?

In the postwar period, the situation was not changed dramatically when it came to racial discrimination int he United States. There were still many people that didn't wanted to have anything with the people of other racial groups, and did not saw them as equal to them. This was very upsetting for the people of other racial groups, such as the African Americans, Native Americans, the people of Asian ancestry, especially because they risked their lives for the country and for the people living in it during the war. They could not understand who is it possible that they put their lives on the front in order to protect the others, just to be discriminated again when they came back home by those same people that they were fighting for.

the best description of postwar writers might be progressive.

following the war, writers showed a tendency to work on artistic or social matters rather than political themes. while postwar literature may not have been the greatest period of english literature, the themes provided excellent critics a high number of novels. such examples include anthony burgess, anthony powell and frank kermode, all of which can be placed under the progressive view.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
