The Hero and the Victim -...

Gregory Brazeal

Two decades after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, a canon of American literature about the war has begun to emerge. 
The Hero and the Victim situates Iraq War fiction in war literature’s broader history. In contrast to the emphasis of most pre-modern war literature on the figure of the warrior-as-hero, and the growing modern emphasis on the figure of the soldier-as-victim, Iraq War fiction reflects the troubled emergence of a new narrative: the story of the ordinary soldier as a wrongdoer or even criminal. 
To a greater extent than earlier literature about American wars, Iraq War fiction is haunted by depictions of moral injury and expressions of unresolved guilt. The emphasis on soldier criminality in Iraq War fiction can be partly explained by the rise of moral cosmopolitanism and its blurring of the traditional conceptual lines between war and crime. 
The anti-war literature of the twentieth century often presented fallen soldiers on both sides equally as victims and viewed the distinction between heroes and villains as part of the illusion that battlefield experience strips away. 
Written in the long shadow of Nuremberg, Iraq War fiction grapples with the possibility that the soldiers on one’s own side may not be the heroes in the story, or even the victims, but participants in a wrong, and perhaps even complicit in crimes. 
The Hero and the Victim contributes to the ongoing, public reexamination of American traditions by confronting a topic that has, up to now, been largely untouched: the moral celebration of military service. 
The Hero and the Victim explores the theme of soldier criminality through close readings of several works by American authors, including Kevin Powers’s The Yellow Birds, Phil Klay’s Redeployment, Helen Benedict’s Sand Queen, Chris Kyle’s American Sniper, and Roy Scranton’s War Porn.

WIRED & TIRED - A Guide to...

Ira Israel

In addition to the twin epidemics of anxiety and depression plaguing our society, psychotherapist Ira Israel has observed a new wave of highly functional adults who don't technically suffer from the debilitating symptoms of clinical anxiety and depression yet feel wired & tired: consistently overworked, overstimulated, under-loved, and underappreciated—stressed out, yet unenthusiastic about their daily responsibilities. Wired & Tired provides scientifically proven tools to alleviate the pain of typical life-ruptures (divorces, firings, etc.) as well as critical analyses of transformational moments in our lives and practices to make us resilient and keep us at the high end of our happiness spectrums.

Where We Stand

Djamila Ribeiro, Chimamanda...

The instant bestseller from Djamila Ribeiro that sparked a major Black feminist movement in Brazil 
 
 
  
In a society shaped by the legacies of enslavement, white supremacy, and sexism, who has the right to a voice? In this elegant essay, Djamila Ribeiro offers a compelling intervention into contemporary discussions of power and identity: the concept of "speaking place." A crucial component of conversations on race and gender in Brazil, speaking place is the idea that everyone has a social position in the world and that what we are able to say, and how it is received by others, depends on it. Ribeiro traces the history of Black feminist thought through several centuries, examining the ways that Black women have been silenced, ignored, and punished for speaking. 
 
 
  
Building on feminist standpoint theory, and in conversation with the works of Sojourner Truth, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and others, Ribeiro invites all of us to recognize where we stand, to imagine geographies different from those we've inherited, and to speak a more humane world into being.
