In contrast to the media attention to sexual violence against women in these recent conflicts, however, the incidence and consequences of rape in the Vietnam War have been largely overlooked. Using testimony, oral accounts, literature, and film, Ideologies of Forgetting focuses on the rape and sexual abuse of Vietnamese women by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam war, and argues that the erasure and elision of these practices of sexual violence in the U.S. popular imagination perpetuates the violent masculinity central to contemporary U.S. military culture. Gina Marie Weaver claims that recognition of this violence is important not just for an accurate historical record, but also to truly understand the Vietnam veteran's trauma, which often stems from his aggression rather than his victimization. 410 0$aSUNY series in feminist criticism and theory. 606 $aRape as a weapon of war$zVietnam$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xAtrocities 606 $aRape victims$zVietnam 615 0$aRape as a weapon of war$xHistory 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xAtrocities. 615 0$aRape victims 676 $a959.704/38 686 $a8$2ssgn 700 $aWeaver$b Gina Marie$f1980-$01809588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957247103321 996 $aIdeologies of forgetting$94360457 997 $aUNINA
