What one finds there can contradict the prescribed understandings of a particular war or, say, endorse the tendency to treat military personnel as heroes to be thanked. Especially when 'ordinary curators' display memories of their war experiences through the objects left at memorials and graves, or through the words they curate in war novels, the observer/reader gets a glimpse of actual lives lost, futures cut short and even some of the dull noncombat jobs military do in war zones. The main point is that war is a social institution and its experiences are plentiful and decentralized. Many scholars and other interested readers look for war in the decisions and movements of militaries and states, but this book's difference is that it focuses on how a variety of formal and informal war curators present the American wars in Vietnam and Iraq at a moment of American militarism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Iraq War (2003-2011) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802311 611 27 $a Vietnam War (1961-1975) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431664 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Curatorship $z United States. 650 0 $a Military museums $z United States. 650 0 $a War memorials $z United States. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z United States. 650 0 $a Memory $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a War $x Historiography. 650 0 $a War and society $z United States. 650 0 $a War in literature. 650 7 $a Collective memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Curatorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893397 650 7 $a Memory $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015940 650 7 $a Military museums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021330 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 650 7 $a War and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170447 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 650 7 $a War memorials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170508 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1961-2011 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806075243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2C1B232B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
