dc.description.abstractThe Middle East occupies considerable space in the US media and public debate afterAmerica’s recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This paper examines Phil Klay’sdelineation of these wars in his award-winning story collection, Redeployment (2014),in accordance with its approach to the value of life of both Americans and nonAmericans and its perspective(s) on violence. It is Judith Butler’s contention that, inWestern democracies, lives and deaths are treated with a different method; while thelives of western citizens are valued and grieved, the lives of non-citizens are devaluedand ungrieved. I investigate the status of life/death in this work in the first sectionwhile the stories’ appropriation(s) to and justification of violence are elaborated in thesecond part. In these stories, fatalities among both Americans and locals are abundantand grief appears to dominate the scenes, however, in rather different way.
