I Am ARMY</em> locates, documents and celebrates just some of the unique identities within the diverse fandom. A collection of autoethnographic essays, each chapter in this book contains an ARMY experience which transcends the personal entirely. As such they sit as part of a broader socio-political examination and critique of the world we live in today. I Am ARMY</em> gives the reader a chance to immerse themselves in the world of an ARMY living an entirely different life, and the opportunity to understand just how socially constructed and influenced our lived-experiences truly are. </p>Co-editor Eaglehawk frames the socio-political stories in I Am ARMY</em> as accounts of 'practicing revolutionaries' and introduces BTS as 'participatory revolutionaries'. Drawing upon universal truths detailed throughout the book, Eaglehawk develops a set of components for what she calls the 'Love Yourself, Speak Yourself Revolution' which is currently underway. </p><p>Within this book, you will find the answers to questions such as: "why are fandoms devalued?", "how can I learn to love myself?" and "how can I be a feminist and</em> an ARMY?" Above all else, you will find a little piece of yourself written on the page; for each of us are ARMY, each of us are human. I Am ARMY </em>serves as a reminder that despite how disconnected we may feel from the world, how disheartened or downtrodden, we are not alone; ARMY or not. </p><p><br></p>Essays</strong></p>Emerging victorious by Naazneen and Tagseen Samsodien</p>The day that didn't break me by Anna Shaffer</p>From fake love to self-love by Manilyn Gumapas</p>How BTS contributes towards an awareness of myself by Lily Low</p>I am ARMY, I am revolutionary by Wallea Eaglehawk</p>Finding BTS gave me back myself by Courtney Lazore</p>Speaking myself by Sharon Chen</p>ARMY as a feminist identity by Keryn Ibrahim</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I recommend this book to any ARMY, and perhaps moreso recommend it to any non-ARMY interested in learning more about this fandom's diversity. I feel that one of the best ways to understand and empathise with something unfamiliar is to gain access to an insider's perspective, which gives the outside the tools to find commonalities in their experiences and humanise the unknown. I Am ARMY</em> truly demonstrates that ARMY is a microcosm of humankind." -- 5 stars from Destiny</p><p><br></p><p>""If you are an established member of ARMY, thank you; I hope you find yourself amongst these pages." Oh, I did and I'm now even more grateful to be a part of ARMY. In my own humble opinion, what Wallea Eaglehawk sought to accomplish in this publication could not have been better achieved than it was in this first installment of ARMY autoethnographies. I felt seen and I felt empathy, it was crushing and hopeful and comforting to get a peek behind the curtains at the experiences from a handful of incredibly strong, beautiful members that make up this enormous fandom that has made the choice to embark on this life-changing journey alongside 7 Korean men." -- 5 stars from Yessenia</p><br>
