But widows were far more than just a reminder of the wars fallen soldiers; they were literal and figurative actresses in how nations crafted their identities in the interwar era. In this extremely original study, Erika Kuhlman compares the ways in which German and American widows experienced their postwar status, and how that played into the cultures of mourning in their two nations: one defeated, the other victorious. Each nation used widows and war dead as symbols to either uphold their victory or disengage from their defeat, but Kuhlman, parsing both German and U.S. primary sources, compares widows lived experiences to public memory. For some widows, government compensation in the form of military-style awards sufficed. For others, their own deprivations, combined with those suffered by widows living in other nations, became the touchstone of a transnational awareness of the absurdity of war and the need to prevent it.</p>", "author": "Erika Kuhlman", "slug": "of-little-comfort-251384-9780814748404-erika-kuhlman", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814748404.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251384", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251384/of-little-comfort-251384-9780814748404-erika-kuhlman", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS036060", "HIS027110" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814748398", "EISBN13": "9780814748404", "EISBN10": "0814748406" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010000326547" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251383", "attributes": { "name": "Occupied by Memory", "subtitle": "The Intifada Generation and the Palestinian State of Emergency", "description": "<p>Occupied by Memory explores the memories of the first Palestinian intifada.

While almost all parents understand that many teenagers are sexually active, there is a paradox in many parents thinking: they insist their own teen children are not sexual, but characterize their childrens peers as sexually-driven and hypersexual. Rather than accuse parents of being in denial, Sinikka Elliott teases out the complex dynamics behind this thinking, demonstrating that it is rooted in fears and anxieties about being a good parent, the risks of teen sexual activity, and teenagers future economic and social status. Parentslike most Americansequate teen sexuality with heartache, disease, pregnancy, promiscuity, and deviance and want their teen children to be protected from these things.Going beyond the hype and controversy, Elliott examines how a diverse group of American parents of teenagers understand teen sexuality, showing that, in contrast to the idea that parents are polarized in their beliefs, parents are confused, anxious, and ambivalent about teen sexual activity and how best to guide their own childrens sexuality. Framed with an eye to the debates about teenage abstinence and sex education in school, Elliott also links parents understandings to the contradictory messages and broad moral panic around child and teen sexuality. Ultimately, Elliott considers the social and cultural conditions that might make it easier for parents to talk with their teens about sex, calling for new ways of thinking and talking about teen sexuality that promote social justice and empower parents to embrace their children as fully sexual subjects.</p>", "author": "Sinikka Elliott", "slug": "not-my-kid-251378-9780814771341-sinikka-elliott", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814771341.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251378", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251378/not-my-kid-251378-9780814771341-sinikka-elliott", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC026000", "FAM034000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814722596", "EISBN13": "9780814771341", "EISBN10": "0814771343" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010017638534" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251377", "attributes": { "name": "Not Guilty", "subtitle": "Are the Acquitted Innocent?", "description": "As scores of death row inmates are exonerated by DNA evidence and innocence commissions are set up across the country, conviction of the innocent has become a well-recognized problem.

However, could it be that liberalism is not antithetical to social group identities like nationalism as is traditionally understood? Is it possible that those who assert liberal rights might even strengthen aspects of nationalism?<br> No Escape argues that this is exactly the case, beginning with the observation that, paradoxical as it might seem, liberalism and nationalism have historically coincided in the United States. No Escape proves that liberal government and nationalism can mutually reinforce each other, taking as its example a preeminent and seemingly universal liberal legal right, freedom of speech, and illustrating how it can function in a way that actually reproduces nationally exclusive conditions of power.<br> No Escape boldly re-evaluates the relationship between liberal rights and the community at a time when the call has gone out for the nation to defend the freedom to live our way of life.
