p. 156: These stories about "personal transgressions" and everyday-ness of wartime remind us that, even in the midst of war, people are always more than victims of their circumstances; they are also desiring subjects with both simple and complex needs and wants. Our task as scholars is to figure out how to "communicate the depth, density, and intricacies of the dialectic of subjection and subjectivity." We do this not only for the sake of accuracy but also out of respect for people's multifaceted and often-contradictory humanity and subjectivity.
