Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

"The book is useful as an in-depth journalistic account of the tragedy and its aftermath..."--P. Kivisto, Choice " . . . Watson has also told a riveting and quintessentially American tale of intrigue and mythmaking, tragedy and exploitation."--Randall Balmer, Barnard College, Columbia University "This is a fascinating exploration of the lives and posthumous careers of two of the teenagers killed at Columbine High School in 1999. After their deaths, Cassie Bernall and, to a lesser extent, Rachel Scott became at once role models for America's evangelical subculture and rhetorical weapons in the country's ongoing culture wars. By showing us who the girls were and how the story of their supposed martyrdom was created, disseminated, and interpreted, Justin Watson has provided invaluable insight into the ways American culture transforms local tragedies into political morality tales for the nation as a whole."--Mark Silk, Director, The Leonard E.

Introduction: 'It Pierced the Soul of America' Martyrdom: The Blood of the Martyrs Is Seed Cassie Bernall: 'Feeding the World with One Word' Rachel Scott: 'Starting a Chain Reaction' The Politics of Martyrdom: 'I Will Heal Their Land' Defenders and Debunkers: 'What Really Happened?'

Synopsis
A groundbreaking investigation of what this tragedy has come and will come to mean in American religion, politics, and culture., On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed twelve fellow students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Two of the victims of the Columbine massacre, Cassie Bernall and Rachel Scott, reportedly were asked by the gunmen if they believed in God. Both supposedly answered 'Yes' and were killed. Within days of their death, Cassie and Rachel were being hailed as modern-day martyrs and are seen by many American evangelicals as the sparks of a religious revival among teenagers. Cassie and Rachel, as innocents martyred for faith, also became useful symbols for those seeking to advance a conservative political agenda and to lay the blame for Columbine at the feet of their liberal opponents. According to police investigators, however, Cassie and Rachel may never have been asked by their killers about God. They may have been simply victims of a senseless crime rather than martyrs to a cause. The Martyrs of Columbine provides a careful examination of the available evidence and attempts to discover what really occurred. Despite these questions the martyr-stories continued to be told and the religious and political use of Cassie and Rachel continues. The popular significance of the martyrs of Columbine persists, and may even be growing. How and why is this happening? The Martyrs of Columbine is a groundbreaking investigation of what this tragedy has come and will come to mean in American religion, politics, and culture.

    Completely satisfied, this book was exactly as represent in quality and, in my opinion, better in condition/ appearance than stated...entire transaction was professional, fast and friendly with good communication...packaging was adequate, with the item arriving in excellent condition...A+ seller. (Please allow me to take this opportunity to say that A+ should suffice as the highest recommendation. The excessive use of the letter A and plus signs degrades the accuracy of the appraisal system)
