ABSTRACT
In their book, All That We Can Be, military sociologists Charles Moskos and John Sibley Butler (1996) compare the prevailing negative paradigms for racial integration in America to one institution where African-Americans have been uniquely successful:
Moskos and Butler discuss the remarkable success (with caveats) of racial integration in the Army and suggest it may be instructive for the rest of American society. Because of its historical precedent (MacGregor, 1981) and its contemporary signifi cance, race must be a key issue in any discussion of diversity and military psychology.
