Hardback. Condición: New. A Purple Heart, the honour given to US soldiers for their wounds, is one that many cling to when faced with the realities of both the return home and their time at war. Accompanying the images are first person interviews with the soldiers as they discuss why they enlisted and their experiences in the second Iraq war, as well as their lives now and the prospect of living as disabled veterans.The images are accompanied by first person interviews with the young soldiers who discuss their lives, reasons for enlisting, experiences in Iraq and their prospects as disabled veterans, some of them blind, some without limbs, others brain damaged and wheel-chair bound.The words and photos make for a complex portrait of American youth, their values, their dreams, the lack of opportunity facing them upon high school graduation, and the myths of warfare which informed their decisions to join.One soldier explained that he always wanted to be a hero and thought the military would be fun. He never imagined an RPG attack in Fallujah would leave him a cripple unable to care for a wife and two children. Another described calling the recruiting station after he saw an MTV-style Army commercial on TV. An immigrant from Pakistan, he was given his citizenship following his injury, a fair trade in his mind, a leg for an American passport. Yet another soldier left a crime, drug ridden neighbourhood in Alabama, only to return 100 percent disabled back where he started but now bedridden.The photographs are accompanied by essays from Verlyn Klinkenborg, an author and editorial writer for the New York Times, and Tim Origer, a Vietnam veteran and former Marine who fought in the Tet offensive. He came back a 19 year-old amputee."I've been a documentary photographer since 1987 working in a dozen countries including Afghanistan, Bosnia, India and Vietnam, but most of my time has been spent traveling the USA trying to understand the American Way of Life.".

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A purple heart is the token honor given to soldiers for their wounds. It makes them heroes. It is the title that Nina Berman has given to her photographs of American soldiers gravely wounded in the Iraq war, who have returned home to face life away from the waving flags and heroic send-offs. The images are accompanied by first person interviews with the soldiers who discuss their lives, reasons for enlisting, and experience in Iraq. They provide a glimpse into the myths of warfare as glorious spectacle through the minds of young men desperate to believe in the righteousness of their actions. One soldier explained that he always wanted to be a hero. He thought the military would be fun - he would jump out of planes. He certainly never imagined it could be ugly until he saw Saving Private Ryan. He is now a cripple, doped up all day on pain medications, flat broke with one kid and another on the way. Another described calling the recruiting station after he saw an Army MTV-style commercial on TV. An immigrant from Pakistan, he was given his citizenship following his injury. Fair trade in his mind, a leg for an American passport.The photographs are accompanied by essays from Verlyn Klinkenborg, writer for the New York Times Editorial writer, and Tim Origer, a Vietnam veteran and former Marine who fought in the Tet offensive. He came back 19 and an amputee. A purple heart is the token honour given to soldiers for their wounds. It is the title Nina Berman has given to her photographs of American soldiers gravely wounded in the Iraq war. The images are accompanied by first person interviews with the soldiers who discuss their lives, reasons for enlisting and experience in Iraq.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Nina Berman was one of the first photographers in the US to turn her lens towards her own country, whilst all eyes were on Iraq. She was awarded international prizes in journalism from World Press Photo (2005, 2007) and DAYS Japan (2005) for her work on young American veterans coming back from war, widely exhibited and published in the book "Purple Hearts - Back from Iraq". Nina Berman in "Homeland" has captured further the unsettling and surreal in her own country over recent years. She has witnessed the rise of the "super" churches, and photographed military demos, recruitment centres and air fairs where you are never too young to have your own gun. She has noticed spring up in towns across America, emergency committees, uniformed and primed for action against attack.Many feel secure in the shared safety under the spangled banner of a flag. But underlying Berman's technicolor images is a sense of fear under the guise of the banal. Surreal images from the outside - the unsettling reality is that this is now the norm for many. Even more disturbing, that these are parts of the USA today. In "Homeland" Berman is an American again looking at America.She sees the growing elements of fanaticism and faith in guns and God, creeping through a cross-section of American society. "I 've been a documentary photographer since 1987 working in a dozen countries including Afghanistan, Bosnia, India and Vietnam. Most of my time has been spent traveling the USA trying to understand the American Way of Life". Features photographs, which capture the unsettling and surreal in USA. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condición: New. Nina Berman, as an American photographer looking at America, delivers a caustic and surreal vision of the United States during the Bush years in her second book Homeland. A product of seven years work, with images from across America, Berman gives us a glimpse into the bizarre manifestations of the homeland security state and the ideologies that have reshaped post 9/11 America.In Homeland, happy families step through suburbs clutching anti-nuke pills. Small town police train to hunt Al-Qaeda. Recruitment spectacles transform children into would be killers. Military goats perform in war on terror scripts. And beneath it all stands the image of a warrior Jesus inspiring megachurch millions toward the end times. Looking at the pictures shot in a rich saturated technicolor, one asks, are the scenes real, or an elaborate state sponsored performance art designed to amuse a public desperately seeking a superhero ending in an age of empire decline?Berman, an internationally acclaimed photographer best known for her ground breaking images of American military wounded in the Iraq war, Purple Hearts, (Trolley, 2004) once again pushes us to look at American power and myth as it plays out in the heartland.With an afterword by Michael Shaw, visual critic and creator of Bagnewsnotes.com.Nina Berman's work has been extensively published and exhibited around the world. Purple Hearts was her first book. "I've been a documentary photographer since 1987 working in a dozen countries including Afghanistan, Bosnia, India and Vietnam, but most of my time has been spent traveling the USA trying to understand the American Way of Life.".
