SUMMARY:John M. Kinder - A History of American War in Five Bodies
DESCRIPTION:The New York Academy of Medicine\n1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street \nJohn M. Kinder\, Oklahoma State University \nAt first glance\, the history of American warfare can often appear strangely devoid of flesh and blood. Prior to the 1960s\, Hollywood shied away from graphic war wounds\, and military propaganda continues to downplay war’s relentless consumption of life and limb. According to Professor John M. Kinder\, however\, injured bodies deserve to be moved from the margins to the center of the American war story. In this talk\, Kinder explores the history of American war through the bodies of five disabled veterans. What emerges is a portrait of nation struggling (and often failing) to mitigate the human cost of military conflict. \nThis event costs $12 for the general public; $8 for Friends\, Fellows\, Members\, Seniors; and free to Students with ID. Please register on the event website. \nJohn M. Kinder is Associate Professor of History and American Studies at Oklahoma State University. He is the author of Paying with Their Bodies: American War and the Problem of the Disabled Veteran (University of Chicago Press\, 2015). He is currently completing a book on the history of zoos during World War II. \nThis event is sponsored by The New York Academy of Medicine.
