'In this illuminating and original work, Deborah Cowen skillfully unfolds the pivotal connections between mass war and modern citizenship and offers intriguing insights into the new and complex relationships between the war on terror, the rebirth of national militarism, the masculine warrior, and neo-liberal workfare. Military Workfare is a must read for students of contemporary public policy and citizenship politics in Canada.'-Janine Brodie, Canada Research Chair in Political Economy and Social Governance, University of Alberta
