Remasculinization of America: Gender and the Vietnam War

by Susan Jeffords

Jeffords (English, Washington) argues that the popular representations of the Vietnam war, both during and after, demonstrate the pervasiveness of patriarchal values in the US and the primacy of gender, rather than class or race, in defining social relations. Draws on speeches, books, movies, and other war literature. Cloth edition available (ISBN 50285-6; $35). Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
