This book examines US military bases across the globe including
those in Latin America, Europe, and Asia. It documents the massive
political, economic and environmental impacts that these outposts
have and studies the movements and campaigns against them.US
Military bases form a huge global system but are poorly understood
by those not directly involved in their operation. The Pentagon is
currently relocating many bases to fit with the strategies of
pre-emption and resource control and this has intensified existing
conflicts between the military and local people. The authors of
this volume show how these seemingly local disputes are crucial to
the success and failure of the American imperial project, and
attempt to bring together the geographically scattered opposition
movements to form a coherent campaign against the harmful effects
of bases.A key title for students of anthropology and politics,
this collection will also open the eyes of US citizens to the
damage the American empire causes in allied countries as well as in
its war zones.
