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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.83 Hi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
