ePub Materialities of Ritual in the Black Atlantic (Blacks in the Diaspora) by From Indiana University Press in History

Description

In this book the author examines representations of the Vietnam experience in film; oral history; novels; and short stories and finds that the media have helped remasculinize; or regender social relations. She argues that the war; instead of leading to a reexamination of the US value system; has spurred a revitalization of the traditional values of capitalism and bourgeois individualism.
