Awards and Recognition

  • "Then there is the work of R.P. Singletary, which I consider one of the most unique contributions to the issue. Singletary is interested in the rituals in the U.S. that create societal consent for war. He tackles this by imagining a ceremony in remembrance of WW1. It was astonishing that when we translated it into russian, it could so easily be re-read as a critique of the russian military." - Ukraine-based editors of EBBzine.com, 2025.
