“Welcome to the Suck provides a timely and essential revision of our un-
derstanding of contemporary war writing, surveying the ways in which
recent books and films represent war and how this marks a change in our
understanding of the subject. i am terrifically impressed with peebles’s
notion that the media is a central concern of gulf war and iraq war
narratives, which not only show their soldier characters modeling their
own experiences on earlier war narratives but also incorporate/address
new forms of media, such as blogs.”—andrew hoberek, university of
Missouri-columbia
our collective memories of world war ii and vietnam have been shaped
as much by memoirs, novels, and films as they have been by history
books. in Welcome to the Suck, stacey peebles examines the growing
body of contemporary war stories in prose, poetry, and film that speak
to the American soldier’s experience in the persian gulf war and the
iraq war—“the suck” in military lingo.
two gulf war memoirs by Anthony swofford (Jarhead) and Joel turnip-
seed (Baghdad Express) provide a portrait of soldiers living and fighting
on the cusp of the major political and technological changes that would
begin in earnest just a few years later. the iraq war, a much longer con-
flict, has given rise to more and various representations. peebles covers
a blog by colby Buzzell (“My war”), memoirs by nathaniel Fick (One Bul-
let Away) and Kayla williams (Love My Rifle More Than You); a collection
of stories by John crawford (The Last True Story I’ll Ever Tell); poetry by
Brian turner (Here, Bullet); the documentary Alive Day Memories; and
the feature films In the Valley of Elah and the winner of the 2010 oscar
for Best picture, The Hurt Locker, both written by the war correspondent
Mark Boal.
Books and other media emerging from the conflicts in the gulf have yet
to receive the kind of serious attention that vietnam war texts received

Fighting for primary care Medicine in America
FredericK M. BArKen, Md
illustrated with case studies gleaned from more than twenty years in
private practice and data from a wide range of sources, Out of Practice
is more than a jeremiad about a broken system. throughout, dr. Barken
offers cogent suggestions for policymakers and practitioners alike, mak-
ing clear that as valuable as the latest drug or medical device may be,
a successful health care system depends just as much on the doctor-
patient relationship embodied by primary care medicine.

u.s. health care is a $2.5 trillion system that accounts for more than
17 percent of the nation’s gdp. it is also highly susceptible to fraud. es-
timates vary, but some observers believe that as much as 10 percent
of all medical billing involves some type of fraud. in 2009, new york’s
Medicaid fraud office recovered $283 million and obtained 148 criminal
convictions. in July 2010, the u.s. Justice department charged nearly
100 patients, doctors, and health care executives in five states of bilking
the Medicare system out of more than $251 million through false claims
for services that were medically unnecessary or never provided. these
cases only hint at the scope of the problem.

sometimes judges’ views about love, sex, and marriage emerge from
their presentation of the facts of cases. Among the recurring elements
are abortions forced by men, compensated dating, late-life divorces, ter-
mination fees to end affairs, sexless couples, valentine’s day heartbreak,
“soapland” bath-brothels, and home-wrecking hostesses. sometimes the
judges’ analysis, decisions, and commentary are as revealing as the facts.
sex in the cases is a choice among private “normal” sex, which is male-
dominated, conservative, dispassionate, or nonexistent; commercial sex,
which caters to every fetish but is said to lead to rape, murder, and gen-
eral social depravity; and a hybrid of the two, which commodifies private
sexual relationships. Marriage is contractual; judges express the ideal of
love in marriage and proclaim its importance, but virtually no one in the
court cases achieves it. love usually appears as a tragic, overwhelming
emotion associated with jealousy, suffering, heartache, and death.

Failure by Design
the story behind America’s Broken economy
JosH Bivens
foreword by lAwrence MisHel
As outlined clearly here, economic growth since the late 1970s has been
slow and inequitably distributed, largely as a result of poor policy choic-
es. these choices only got worse in the 2000s, leading to an anemic eco-
nomic expansion. what growth we did see in the economy was fueled
by staggering increases in private-sector debt and a housing bubble that
artificially inflated wealth by trillions of dollars. As had been predicted,
the bursting of the housing bubble had disastrous consequences for the
broader economy, spurring a financial crisis and a rise in joblessness that
dwarfed those resulting from any recession since the great depression.

America: The Rise and Fall (and Redeem-

in Separated by Their Sex, Mary Beth norton offers a bold genealogy that
shows how gender came to determine the right of access to the Anglo-
American public sphere by the middle of the eighteenth century. earlier,
high-status men and women alike had been recognized as appropriate
political actors, as exemplified during and after Bacon’s rebellion by the
actions of—and reactions to—lady Frances Berkeley, wife of virginia’s
governor. By contrast, when the first ordinary english women to claim
a political voice directed group petitions to parliament during the civil
war of the 1640s, men relentlessly criticized and parodied their efforts.
even so, as late as 1690 Anglo-American women’s political interests and
opinions were publicly acknowledged.

embryo politics
ethics and policy in Atlantic democracies
tHoMAs BAncHoFF
since the first fertilization of a human egg in the laboratory in 1968, sci-
entific and technological breakthroughs have raised ethical dilemmas
and generated policy controversies on both sides of the Atlantic. em-
bryo, stem cell, and cloning research have provoked impassioned politi-
cal debate about their religious, moral, legal, and practical implications.
national governments make rules that govern the creation, destruction,
and use of embryos in the laboratory—but they do so in profoundly dif-
ferent ways.

in this invaluable reference work, the world’s foremost authorities on France’s political, social, cultural, and intellectual
history explore the history and meaning of the French republic and the challenges it has faced. Founded in 1792, the
French republic has been defined and redefined by a succession of regimes and institutions, a multiplicity of symbols,
and a plurality of meanings, ideas, and values. Although constantly in flux, the republic has nonetheless produced a set
of core ideals and practices fundamental to modern France’s political culture and democratic life.
Based on the influential Dictionnaire critique de la République, published in France in 2002, The French Republic pro-
vides an encyclopedic survey of French republicanism since the enlightenment. divided into three sections—time
and History, principles and values, and dilemmas and debates—The French Republic begins by examining each of
France’s five republics and its two authoritarian interludes, the second empire and vichy. it then offers thematic
essays on such topics as liberty, equality, and fraternity; laicity; citizenship; the press; immigration; decolonization;
anti-semitism; gender; the family; cultural policy; and the Muslim headscarf debates. each essay includes a brief guide
to further reading.
this volume features updated translations of some of the most important essays from the French edition, as well as
twenty-two newly commissioned english-language essays, for a total of forty entries. taken together, they provide a
state-of-the art appraisal of French republicanism and its role in shaping contemporary France’s public and private life.

a company of one
insecurity, independence, and the
new world of white-collar unemployment
cArrie M. lAne
Being laid off can be a traumatic event. the unemployed worry about
how they will pay their bills and find a new job. in the American econ-
omy’s boom-and-bust business cycle since the 1980s, repeated layoffs
have become part of working life. in A Company of One, carrie M. lane
finds that the new culture of corporate employment, changes to the job
search process, and dual-income marriage have reshaped how today’s
skilled workers view unemployment. through interviews with seventy-
five unemployed and underemployed high-tech white-collar workers in
the dallas area over the course of the 2000s, lane shows that they have
embraced a new definition of employment in which all jobs are tempo-
rary and all workers are, or should be, independent “companies of one.”

the automobile and soviet communism made an odd couple. the quint-

achieved iconic status as an engine of communist progress, in part
because it posed an awkward challenge to some basic assumptions of

photographic images can, apart from their capacity to show, convey an ex-
perience, a quality that has seldom been recognized. in this book the artist
and photographer Maarten vanvolsem explains how the strip technique
can tell a different story of time and space in photographic images, a story
that leads to new expressions and experiences of time and movement. the
strip technique itself seems to be neglected in the debate on time and
photography, although it has a long history—from Muybridge to the photo
booth. its use is widespread and, especially in recent years, more and more
artists have rediscovered the technique.
