Certain groups of military veterans, including women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and former service members with stigmatizing conditions, bad paper discharges, or criminal records, have been excluded from official histories, erased from national consciousness, and denied state recognition and military benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eService Denied: Untold Stories of Marginalized Veterans in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries seeks to uncover the generational divides, cultural stigmas, and discriminatory policies that affected veterans during and after their military service. Through a collection of chapters, the book challenges the archetype of veterans and inspires an innovative model for veterans studies that encourages an intersectional and interdisciplinary analysis of their history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributions to the volume come from the volume editors as well as scholars such as Barbara Gannon, Robert Jefferson, Evan P. Sullivan, Steven Rosales, Heather Marie Stur, Juan Coronado, Kara Dixon Vuic, John Worsencroft, and David Kieran.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and policymakers interested in understanding the experiences of marginalized veterans and the need to address their historical and ongoing challenges. It sheds light on the hidden stories of these individuals and highlights the importance of recognizing and honoring their contributions to our nation's military and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781625346537\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096717095162,"sku":"9781625346537","price":26.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662733606479_book.jpg?v=1662841234","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/service-denied-marginalized-veterans-in-modern-american-history-9781625346537","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
