C. Weber

Social Memory and War Narratives

Transmitted Trauma among Children of Vietnam War Veterans

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Vietnam War has had many long-reaching, traumatic effects, not just on the veterans of the war, but on their children as well. In this book, Weber examines the concept of the war as a social monad, a confusing array of personal stories and public histories that disrupt traditional ways of knowing the social world for the second generation.
