Description

Sacrificial Limbs chronicles the everyday lives and political activism of disabled veterans of Turkeyâ?Ts Kurdish war, one of the most volatile conflicts in the Middle East. Through nuanced ethnographic portraits,A AAiksAzA examines how veteransâ?T experiences of war and disability are closely linked to class, gender, and ultimately the embrace of ultranationalist right-wing politics. Bringing the reader into military hospitals, commemorations, political demonstrations, and veteransâ?T everyday spaces of care, intimacy, and activism, Sacrificial Limbs provides a vivid analysis of the multiple and sometimes contradictory forces that fashion veteransâ?T bodies, political subjectivities, and communities. It is essential reading for students and scholars interested in anthropology, masculinity, and disability.
