ITEM OVERVIEW
What does Abu Ghraib say about American prisons? About women during wartime? About an administration that chose to interpret the mandate of the Geneva Conventions Barring Torture as it saw fit? Nine essayists tackle what the prison abuse scandal means for America now and in the future and what it says about how we see ourselves and how we're perceived by others. Compelling social critiques acknowledge the ramifications of these and other atrocities as Americans are exposed, many for the first time, to the politics of torture. Essays by Barbara Ehrenreich, Mark Danner, John Gray, David Levi Strauss, Ha'aretz columnist Meron Benvenisti, Richard Grossinger, David Matlin, and more.
