The Broken Country: On Trauma, a Crime, and the Continuing Legacy of VietnamThe Broken Country uses a violent incident that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2012 as a springboard for examining the long term cultural and psychological effects of the Vietnam War. To make sense of the shocking and baffling incident in which a young homeless man born in Vietnam stabbed a number of white men purportedly in retribution for the war Paisley Rekdal draws on a remarkable range of material and fashions it into a compelling account
The Broken Country uses a violent incident that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2012 as a springboard for examining the long-term cultural and psychological effects of the Vietnam War. To make sense of the shocking and baffling incident--in which a young homeless man born in Vietnam stabbed a number of white men purportedly in retribution for the war--Paisley Rekdal draws on a remarkable range of material and fashions it into a compelling account of the dislocations suffered by the Vietnamese and also by American-born veterans over the past decades. She interweaves a narrative about the crime with information collected in interviews, historical examination of the arrival of Vietnamese immigrants in the 1970s, a critique of portrayals of Vietnam in American popular culture, and discussions of the psychological consequences of trauma. This work allows us to better understand transgenerational and cultural trauma and advances our still complicated struggle to comprehend the war.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice but incomplete
Color: Ivory
I think the color and overall look for the bathroom is beautiful. I'm very disappointed that some parts were missing from the package!

Happy with purchase
Color: Ivory
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the set. It seems sturdy and durable. The colors were just as pictured and very nice. The brush handle is a bit short, but that is okay. It took me a minute to get the lid flap in place, however, once I got it on it works as expected. A decent value.
