Empire of defense : race and the cultural politics of permanent war

Author:	Joseph Darda
Publisher:	Chicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, 2019. ©2019
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Empire of Defense is an extensive and multilayered critique of the past seventy years of American military engagement. Joseph Darda exposes how the post-World War II formation of the Department of Defense and the subsequent Korean War set a course for decades of permanent conflict. Conflict, which the United States, he argues, ingeniously reframed as the defense of humanity from illiberal beliefs and behaviors. Empire of Defense shows how a string of rationales for war from the 1940s to the present-- anticommunism, crime control, humanitarianism, and counterterrorism-- paved the way for unprecedented military growth that secured rather than dismantled the existing racial order. A wide range of writers, filmmakers, and journalists - from I. F. Stone and Ishmael Reed to Stanley Kubrick and June Jordan - have struggled to tell the story of war without end, and Darda reveals how that struggle itself tells the bigger story. He draws a clear line from the Cold War to the War on Terror and makes sense of our collective cultural efforts to recognize the not-so-new normal of nonstop military empire-building.  Read more...
