Complex Shadows of War
Manoa Professor Frank Stewart edited "Enduring War," the latest volume of MANOA: A Pacific Journal of International Writers.
The stories, essays and poems in this volume concern the effects of war and the shadows they cast, from the Pacific campaigns of World War II to genocide under the Khmer Rouge to hostilities in the Middle East.
Soldiers, however, are not in the foreground in most of these works. More often, the writers depict war as a destructive force on the lives of children, women and civilians, and capture the lasting, complex ways in which innocent individuals and communities are harmed.
Works such as those in "Enduring War" tell the truths that history and politics hide, challenge ethical reasoning, and deepen emotional understanding of war and its consequences. Expressed in the diverse voices of "Enduring War," these truths become immediate and memorable—brutalizing victors and vanquished alike, thus sowing the seeds for future conflict.
Enduring War is available from UH Press and the MANOA website.
