CHAPTER

PTSD - A History of Medicine and Science

This week's podcast features an interview with Nadia Boulkhkh, a professor of anthropology at Barnard College in Columbia University. The two discuss the rise of militarist politics that redefined post-Vietnam syndrome as Vietnam syndrome. They also talk about how soldiers and really all sorts of Americans are increasingly turning to the grammar of identity politics.
