How do we live in and with empire? The contributors to
Ethnographies of U.S. Empire pursue this question by examining
empire as an unequally shared present. Here empire stands as an
entrenched, if often invisible, part of everyday life central to
making and remaking a world in which it is too often presented as
an aberration rather than as a structuring condition. This volume
presents scholarship from across U.S. imperial formations: settler
colonialism, overseas territories, communities impacted by U.S.
military action or political intervention, Cold War alliances and
fissures, and, most recently, new forms of U.S. empire after 9/11.
From the Mohawk Nation, Korea, and the Philippines to Iraq and the
hills of New Jersey, the contributors show how a methodological and
theoretical commitment to ethnography sharpens all of our
understandings of the novel and timeworn ways people live, thrive,
and resist in the imperial present. Contributors: Kevin K. Birth,
