In \u003cem\u003eUnconventional Combat\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael A. Messner\u003cbr\u003etraces this transformation through the life-history interviews of six veterans of color to show how their experiences of sexual and gender harassment, sexual assault, racist and homophobic abuse during their military service has shaped their political views and action. Drawing upon participant\u003cbr\u003eobservation with the Veterans For Peace and About Face organizations and interviews with older male veterans as his backdrop, Messner shows how veterans' military experiences form their collective situated knowledge of intersecting oppressions. This knowledge, Messner argues, further shapes their\u003cbr\u003eintersectional praxis, which promises to transform the veterans' peace movement and potentially link their anti-militarist work with other movement groups working for change. As intersectionality has increasingly become central to the conversation on social movements, \u003cem\u003eUnconventional Combat\u003c\/em\u003e is not\u003cbr\u003eonly a story about the US veterans' peace movement, but it also offers broad relevance to the larger world of social justice activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48022199074967,"sku":"9780197573631","price":12194.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197573631.webp?v=1784198461","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unconventional-combat-deploying-intersectionality-in-the-veterans-peace-movement-9780197573631","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
