turbulent forces threaten to tear them apart?<br>
In this groundbreaking book based on more than a decade of
research set in Vietnam,<br>
Merav Shohet explores what happens across generations to families
that survive imperialism,<br>
war, and massive political and economic upheaval. Placing
personal sacrifice at the center<br>
of her story, Shohet recounts vivid experiences of conflict,
love, and loss. In doing so, her work <br>
challenges the idea that sacrifice is merely a blood-filled
religious ritual or patriotic act. Today, <br>
domestic sacrifices—made largely by women—precariously knot family
members together by<br>
silencing suffering and naturalizing cross-cutting gender, age,
class, and political hierarchies. <br>
In rethinking ordinary ethics, this intimate ethnography reveals
how quotidian acts of sacrifice <br>
help family members forge a sense of continuity in the face of
trauma and decades of dramatic change.</span><br>
