{"product_id":"and-then-your-soul-is-equinox-publishing-9781800501041","title":"And Then Your Soul Is Gone: Moral Injury and Us War-Culture","description":"The sharp and unforgiving suffering of the morally injured veteran cannot be fully understood, much less effectively addressed, without a comprehensive investigation of moral injury's underlying causes in American culture and society. This book exposes the threads of violence that tie together the naturalized dynamics of U.S. ways of war and militarization with collective practices of national distraction and self-deception. It shows how these same threads of violence are also tightly woven and sacralized in the tapestry of U.S. national identity, tragically concealing moral injury from greater consciousness, and sourcing its toxic growth - ironically - in the very lives of those the nation claims it most highly esteems, our military service members and veterans. Drawing on Claudia Card's philosophical framework, moral injury here is characterized as an atrocity, \"a foreseeable intolerable harm caused by culpable wrongdoing.\" These atrocities are shown to be flash-points revealing important truths regarding the unlivable consequences of U.S. war-culture and highlighting the urgent need to rethink the meaning of U.S. nationalism, desacralize violence, and support life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing, Kelly Denton-Borhaug\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800501048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800501041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022","brand":"Equinox Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173042057471,"sku":"9781800501041","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2e06168-f2df-444e-9bb3-60ed7c0a8242.jpg?v=1689790725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-then-your-soul-is-equinox-publishing-9781800501041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
