The Broken Country: On Trauma, a Crime, and the Continuing Legacy of VietnamThe Broken Country uses a violent incident that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2012 as a springboard for examining the long term cultural and psychological effects of the Vietnam War.

The Broken Country uses a violent incident that took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2012 as a springboard for examining the long-term cultural and psychological effects of the Vietnam War. To make sense of the shocking and baffling incident--in which a young homeless man born in Vietnam stabbed a number of white men purportedly in retribution for the war--Paisley Rekdal draws on a remarkable range of material and fashions it into a compelling account of the dislocations suffered by the Vietnamese and also by American-born veterans over the past decades. She interweaves a narrative about the crime with information collected in interviews, historical examination of the arrival of Vietnamese immigrants in the 1970s, a critique of portrayals of Vietnam in American popular culture, and discussions of the psychological consequences of trauma. This work allows us to better understand transgenerational and cultural trauma and advances our still complicated struggle to comprehend the war.

Heavy-Duty 4 AWG Cable With Flexible Insulation
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I am satisfied with this 4 AWG cable. The insulation coating is soft, and the cable itself is very pliable, making it easy to bend and route into the configuration needed for installation. Despite the flexibility, it still feels like a heavy-duty cable designed to handle demanding applications. I am using this cable to provide the necessary amperage to start the generator on my trailer, and it performs as expected. I also like that the wire gauge and cable properties are clearly printed along the side of the insulation, making identification easy during installation or future maintenance. The cable arrived in good condition with no obvious odor from the insulation or packaging. Overall, this appears to be a quality heavy-duty cable that is flexible, easy to work with, and suitable for high-current applications.

True copper battery cables that are high quality
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I love having heavy duty cable on hand for my cars. It's so nice to be able to make your own starter and alternator cables when restoring cars. These cables are 100% copper, not CCA (copper clad aluminum) like many others are. Copper is far superior for conductivity and handling higher loads. The rubber on the cable is thick and yet very flexible..it's clearly marked and seems very durable. I like to use a hydraulic crimping tool and then add marine grade heat shrink tubing with the adhesive inside of it to keep it as weatherproof as possible.

Great cable
With no other reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this cable at first. I've seen so many other brands and sellers that sell cable that is half the gauge they claim. Or cable that is not totally copper and has tin or other poor metals in it. Especially at this low price I worried. I went ahead and bought some anyway though and figured I would chance it. For the amount of money I'd be saving it was worth it. If it wasn't as advertised I could just return it anyway. It arrived in a couple days. It is truly 1/0 AWG, and it is 100% copper. Strands packed dense but still flexible. Comes in a nice carry case. I crimped and soldered on some ends. Everything looks great and is working great. Would definitely recommend and would buy again.
