Indian Wars Everywhere

Angebote / Angebote:

This book is an excellent study of the making of counterinsurgency warfare in the nation’s early and continued efforts to fight 'Indians.' Part military history, part cultural history, more than any other book,  Indian Wars Everywhere links 'Indian' and 'fighting' as an American way of life."—Alex Lubin, author of Never-Ending War on Terror "Indian Wars Everywhere combines incisive cultural analysis with close critical attention to military doctrine and tactics to offer a compelling account of how the legacies of the Indian Wars continue to resonate in US military culture. Stefan Aune has given us a brilliant account of the stories Americans have told themselves about war and how those stories have shaped the violent prosecution of military campaigns from the Philippines to Vietnam to Afghanistan."—David Fitzgerald, author of Learning to Forget: US Army Counterinsurgency Doctrine and Practice from Vietnam to Iraq  "This is a stunning work of interdisciplinary cultural history. Rendered in wonderfully lucid and compelling prose, and through a sophisticated analysis of 'Indian/fighting' as a shadow doctrine,  Indian Wars Everywhere makes a significant and much-needed contribution to our understandings of the tangled and heretofore under-theorized intersections among the violence of US settler colonialism, imperialism, and militarism, on the one hand,  and among culture, discourse, and military perceptions and practices, on the other." —Jodi Kim, author of Settler Garrison: Debt Imperialism, Militarism, and Transpacific Imaginaries
