Summary:
"Suburban Empire takes readers to the U.S. missile base at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, at the matrix of postwar U.S. imperial expansion, the Cold War nuclear arms race, and the tide of anti-colonial struggles rippling across the world. Hirshberg shows that the displacement of indigenous Marshallese within Kwajalein Atoll mirrors the segregation and spatial politics of the mainland U.S. as local and global iterations of U.S. empire took hold. Tracing how Marshall Islanders navigated U.S. military control over their lands, Suburban Empire reveals that Cold War era suburbanization war perfectly congruent with U.S. colonization, military testing, and nuclear fallout. The structures of suburban segregation cloaked the destructive history of control and militarism under a veil of small town innocence"--
