We Take Care of Our Own
Author: June Skinner Sawyers
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978835728
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
We Take Care of Our Own traces the evolution of Bruce Springsteen’s beliefs, beginning with his New Jersey childhood and ending with his most recent works from Springsteen on Broadway to Letter to You. The author follows the singer’s life, examining his albums and a variety of influences (both musical and nonmusical), especially his Catholic upbringing and his family life, to show how he became an outspoken icon for working-class America—indeed for working-class life throughout the world. In this way, the author emphasizes the universality of Springsteen’s canon and depicts how a working-class sensibility can apply to anyone anywhere who believes in fairness and respect. In addition, the author places Springsteen in the historical context not only of literature (especially John Steinbeck) but also of the art world (specifically the work of Thomas Hart Benton and Edward Hopper). Among the themes explored in the book include community, a sense of place, America as the Promised Land, the myth of the West, and, ultimately, mortality.

We Take Care of Our Own

Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
As internal division threatens the United States' ability to defend itself, USoFA WorldWide-a "supraconglomerate" of the nation's largest military, energy, and media providers-has stepped in to conduct a more efficient, more profitable War on Terror. In its effort to silence growing popular dissent, USoFA WorldWide launches SoldierWell, an experimental therapy that aims to co-opt the violent impulses of traumatized veterans to incite Intentional Mass Casualty Incidents, otherwise known as mass shootings. Combining "found" psychotherapy session transcripts with exacting prose, WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN tracks the progress of third-year medical student Linda Held's struggle to suppress her conscience and fulfill Company orders to their savage, terrifying end. "Clancy imagines a world a half-shade darker than our own, where money replaces empathy and those who pull the strings wreck us simply because they can." - John Minichillo, author of The Message in the Sky and First Woman on Mars "The world gave us Orwell, Bradbury, and Vonnegut, and now it has given us the bayonet- sharp vision of Christopher Clancy, who has engineered a novel so vital to the American ethos that everyone-from casual reader to anthropologist-should take heed. We Take Care of Our Own marks the arrival of a masterful storyteller." - Nathan Elias, author of The Reincarnations and Coil Quake Rift "Clancy has absolutely captured both the humanity and absurdity of insurgency war-fighting as experienced by the troops. This book is entertaining as hell but also a deep dive into the heads of the men who return from war. It could change your relationship to the country's war vets." - Trish Wood, author of What Was Asked of Us and host of Trish Wood is Critical podcast "Clancy's novel is sharp, fast, and very stylish. An exhilarating psychological thriller that ensnares, beguiles, and, ultimately, breaks your heart." - Paul Meloy, author of Islington Crocodiles

This American Moment
Author: Caron E. Gentry
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190901276
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
According to this book, the United States is currently in a moment of crisis, fomented by anxieties around race and gender politics. Unlike fear, which is usually focused on a particular object, anxiety is indeterminate and uncertain. It is also the emotion that led to the election and continued support of President Trump. But Caron Gentry says that we can deal with this anxiety in a productive way. To do so, she turns to Reinhold Niebuhr, whose philosophy of Christian realism has been an abiding influence on foreign policy since the Cold War. According to Niebuhr "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary." Anxiety is central to Niebuhr's ideas: an emotion that is abiding because we lack control over the circumstances of our lives. In turn, anxiety prompts a desire for unity, but also an intolerance for difference. Niebuhr suggests that anxiety can be dealt with destructively or creatively, and that power must be balanced to prevent destructive action. Gentry is critical of Niebuhr, saying that he gives in to destructive tendencies in humans by elevating power above other, more creative solutions. In This American Moment, she offers feminist Christian realism as an alternate approach to anxiety in international politics. Gentry's feminist Christian realism differentiates itself from Niebuhr's Christian realism by re-engaging the importance of love and relationships over power. It suggests that we can arrive at creative solutions to anxiety through a conversation about the imago dei and the inherent commitments to community borne of one's relationship with God, including the recognition of obligation in the face of vulnerability. Throughout Gentry applies her ideas to the problems of police brutality, women's reproductive health, and the rise in fascist politics.
