Militarized Currents

Toward a Decolonized Future in Asia and the Pacific
Herausgeber: Shigematsu, Setsu

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Foregrounding indigenous and feminist scholarship, this collection analyzes militarization as an extension of colonialism from the late twentieth to the twenty-first century in Asia and the Pacific. The contributors theorize the effects of militarization across former and current territories of Japan and the United States, such as Guam, Okinawa, the Marshall Islands, the Philippines, and Korea, demonstrating that the relationship between militarization and colonial subordination-and their gendered and racialized processes-shapes and produces bodies of memory, knowledge, and resistance. Contributors: Walden Bello, U of the Philippines; Michael Lujan Bevacqua, U of Guam; Patti Duncan, Oregon State U; Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez, U of Hawai'i, M noa; Insook Kwon, Myongji U; Laurel A. Monnig, U of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Katharine H. S. Moon, Wellesley College; Jon Kamakawiwo'ole Osorio, U of Hawai'i, M noa; Naoki Sakai, Cornell U; Fumika Sato, Hitotsubashi U; Theresa Cenidoza Suarez, California State U, San Marcos; Teresia K. Teaiwa, Victoria U, Wellington; Wesley Iwao Ueunten, San Francisco State U.
