The book examines how the Vietnam War and its accompanying social movements profoundly shaped the ways in which bodies were perceived, represented, and used as a means of resistance. Through in-depth analysis of poetry, performance, and visual art, the contributors uncover the complex ways in which the human body became a site of both oppression and liberation.
Poetry as a Weapon of Resistance
One of the central themes explored in the book is the transformative power of poetry as a tool for resistance. Poets such as Adrienne Rich, Audre Lorde, and Denise Levertov used their words to challenge the dominant narratives surrounding the war and to give voice to the experiences of those who were silenced or marginalized.
Bergland and Winkiel argue that these poets "redefined the body as a site of resistance, a locus of power and agency, and a means of articulating alternative visions of social and political change."
