US society has controversially debated civil-military relationships
and war trauma since the Vietnam War. Civic activists today promote
Indigenous warrior traditions as role models for non-Native veteran
reintegration and health care. They particularly stress the role of
ritual and narrative for civil-military negotiations of war
experience and for trauma therapy. Applying a cultural-comparative
lens, this book reads non-Native soldiers' and veterans' life
writing from post-9/11 wars as "ceremonial storytelling." It
analyzes activist academic texts, "milblogs" written in the war
zone, as well as "homecoming scenarios." Soldiers' and veterans'
interactions with civilians constitute jointly constructed,
narrative civic rituals that discuss the meaning of war experience
and homecoming.
