There are actually quite a few books covering the African-American experience in World War II. It is clear that it has been much better documented, especially in recent years, than that of the tirailleurs sénégalais. So instead of listing a lot of books here, see this nice book list compiled by the Cincinnati Library (a good starting place for research).
Here is a link to another decent bibliography of materials: African Americans in Military History.
Barnes and Noble also has a pretty good search system.
