Read by Bob Johnson.
Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl reckons both with the long history of distrust of public health and the larger forces--social, ideological, historical, racial, and political--that allow mass shootings to occur on a near daily basis in America. Looking closely at the cycle in which mass shootings lead to shock, horror, calls for action, and, ultimately, political gridlock, he explores what happens to the soul of a nation, and the meanings of safety and community, when we normalize violence as an acceptable trade-off for freedom.
