Description:
In 'Unconventional Combat', Michael A. Messner illuminates the current generational transformation of the US veterans' peace movement, from one grounded mostly in the experiences of older, White men of the Vietnam War era, to one increasingly driven by a young, diverse cohort of post-9/11 veterans. In particular, he focuses on six veterans of colour - mostly women who identify as queer - to show how their experiences of sexual and gender harassment, sexual assault, racist, and homophobic abuse during their military service shapes their efforts to transform the veterans' peace movement.
