Episode notes

In the book, you write a lot about how faith-based approaches to traumatized soldiers have been increasingly privatized. What role has religion played in redefining the figure of the traumatized soldier? And what does it mean for the concept of moral injury to be read through this theological lens?"

Featuring Nadia Abu El-Haj on Combat Trauma: Imaginaries of War and Citizenship in Post-9/11 America. How the civil-military divide makes troops into super citizens and what it means that agents of state violence are turning to the grammar of identity politics—and more. The second in a two-part interview.
