Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the concept of militarist settler imperialism as the United States extends its influence across Asia and the Pacific after World War II. Jodi Kim argues that the U.S., despite its status as the largest debtor nation, acts as an imperial creditor, imposing financial and emotional indebtedness on other nations while avoiding its own debt obligations. Through the lens of "settler garrisons," Kim examines military camptowns and bases, revealing how cultural productions challenge U.S. militarism and envision decolonial futures.
