Re: "Glory"
How historically accurate is "Glory" in terms of its portrayal of
the war, the role of black soldiers, the white officer-black troop dynamic?
Were there any reviews of "Glory" in historical journals or by
historians? If so, please advise as to publication title, dates, etc.
What books or articles would present the most interesting view of
the role of the black soldier?
Thank you.

Women, in and through their powerlessness, understand what it means to be
vulnerable. Their openness to beginnings...has daily renewed the world,
making possible future beginings. The challenge for women at this fateful
juncture is to keep alive memories of vulnerability. .to reaffirm rather
than repudidate interdependencies. . .What images of power, then, locate us
as beings who are called to reflection and action, beings receptive to
others yet firm in our sense of ourselves?
