By focusing on how the idea of heroism on the battlefield helped construct, perpetuate, and challenge racial and gender hierarchies in the United States between World War I and the present, Warring over Valor provides fresh perspectives on the history of American military heroism. The book offers two major insights into the history of military heroism. First, it reveals a precarious ambiguity in the efforts of minorities such as African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, women, and gay men to be recognized as heroic soldiers. Paradoxically, America’s heroism discourse allowed them to press their case for full membership in the nation, but doing so simultaneously validated the dichotomous interpretations of race and gender they repudiated. The ambiguous role of marginalized groups in war-related hero-making processes also testifies to this volume’s second general insight: the durability and tenacity of the masculine warrior hero in U.S. society and culture. Warring over Valor bridges a gap in the historiography of heroism and military affairs.

Recenzijos

"This intriguing volume demonstrates how marginalized groups identities and experiences were shaped by the hegemonic white, masculine warrior image. The essays are well-researched and simply fascinating." - Edwin A. Martini (author of Agent Orange: History, Science, and the Politics of Uncertainty) "This book sheds light on what people see as the normal hero, while at the same time showing that there are many other deserving people that are heroes and dont get the same recognition."

(Communication Booknotes Quarterly) "This work is highly recommended to anyone seeking a nuanced grasp of the complicated milieu of military heroism, marginalized groups, and the vital intersections between them."  - William A. Taylor (Marine Corps History)
