War and the Humanities: A Reading Group

War and the Humanities: A Reading Group In-Person

Join a dynamic and varied reading group that uses both famous and lesser-known works of philosophy, fiction, poetry, and other humanities sources to explore the topic of war.

This group meets to discuss materials about war from humanities sources: fiction, poetry, memoir, and more. For September, we will be reading Wallace Terry's Bloods: Black Veterans of the Vietnam War: An Oral History. Terry uses the self-reported narratives of veterans to illuminate the cynicism, racism, and ironic disillusionment experienced by Black soldiers during the Vietnam War.

Registration is required for this free program. After registering, stop by the Edinboro Branch Library to pick up your copy of the book.

Feel free to take a look at the book and the extensive selection of materials on the Vietnam War in the Library's Catalog.
